True compassion isnt trying to get you to get rid of your feelings. True compassion feels your feelings with you. True compassion has a sense of wanting to relieve your suffering, but by sitting with it, not by wiping it away. True compassion validates every ounce of pain you are in and gives you hope that it can be soothed. I want to give you hope. Hope to dream, hope to have a better life. Hope for a new you. Because you deserve it.
I offer person-centred therapy. Where you choose what we talk about. I work with the issues that are affecting you in the here and now. stress, work-related pressure, Anxiety and depression. I use mindfulness and compassion throughout my practice.
I am also doing my supervision training. Watch this space.
We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding. To create a safe space, so you can explore your world, with me walking beside you. True empathy. Yet listening, of this kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.
