We all need help at times. Sometimes it can feel like everything's been thrown into the air and the pieces just haven't settled well, or like they'll never fit properly again. Illness, loss and grief, relationship challenges, losing a job, moving house, stress at work, questioning life choices, retirement - whatever the change, we can feel stuck, lost or uncertain about what comes next and who we are. Therapy provides a space to recognise the impact of these changes, make sense of your feelings and explore how they're affecting you, and identify the strengths that will get you through these challenges so you can feel more at ease.
I offer a space to explore, reflect, remember, imagine, and get curious, at your own pace, where you feel supported, valued, and not judged. Maybe it's time to process something heavy you've been carrying around for years, or something specific happening in your life right now has thrown things off balance. Whatever it is, you don't need to face it alone.
We start with you and your experiences – your stories, memories, challenges, fears, hopes, and ideas. Your past, present, and future. Within the therapeutic relationship, we’ll work together to make sense of things. We will explore what’s worrying you, and think together about how you can live in a way that feels aligned with your values and hopes.
