We can all find life difficult at times, current or past unresolved issues leave us feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, affecting our wellbeing and emotions. Feeling unheard or misunderstood we stop expressing these emotions to those close to us, leading us to repeat unhealthy patterns and learned behaviours which can stop us reaching our full potential.

Counselling can provide an opportunity to explore your feelings, make sense of what is, or has happened, gaining greater self-awareness to empower you. It isn’t about me giving advice but rather supporting you to find your own answers, led by you, the only expert of your life. I will bring my knowledge and experience, giving you the space to explore your complex emotions and work through the confusing feelings and negative thoughts that have been causing you concern.

I understand it’s important to find someone you feel comfortable with and trust to work through those emotions, so, I offer a free initial appointment of up to 30 minutes, either by telephone or on zoom. This will help you get more of a sense of who I am and what I offer, giving space to ask any questions and decide if I am the right person to support you on your journey without any further obligation. 

As an Integrative Counsellor, I believe there isn't a single therapeutic approach that can treat each person in all situations. I’ll value you as a unique person, as are your needs and circumstances, therefore my therapeutic approach is always influenced by the individual I work with, drawing on elements of Person-centred therapy, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.

• Person centred therapy helps you explore your own feelings, beliefs and behaviours helping you become more self-aware and have greater independence.

• Psychodynamic therapy helps you understand how your current feelings and behaviours are shaped by your past experiences and unconscious mind.

• A CBT approach provides tools and coping strategies to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and make small changes to enable you to manage them more effectively.

Counselling can help you:

• understand how learned behaviours stop you reaching your full potential

• deal with anger and frustrations

• feel empowered and able to lead a more fulfilling, enjoyable life.

• understand and deal with the past, present and future effectively

• handle stress and anxiety with confidence

• think and act with positivity

• create and sustain positive relationships
