I work with individuals, couples and families and can help you with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, stress, suicidal thoughts, relationship issues etc. I work with each person as an individual and tailor my work to suit you. My main approach however is 'Person Centred' which essentially means I offer a safe non-judgmental space in which you can explore whatever's been happening in your life which will in turn enable you to find your way back to a more positive way of being.
My aim is to help us build a therapeutic relationship to encourage your empowerment and growth which will help you learn about who you are, how you are in the world and why you have experienced such difficulties in your life. This understanding will hopefully help you begin to trust in yourself and enable you to move forward in a more positive way.
If appropriate I might work with you in a more 'integrative' way too which means I might gently challenge you or nudge you along. I might also suggest helpful tools you could try but with the understanding that it is your choice as to whether you utilise them or not. Everyone is different so it's about finding a way forward that works best for you.
