About me and my therapy practice

If you鈥檙e reading this, you鈥檙e probably ready for a change. Perhaps life hasn鈥檛 turned out as you expected, or something has happened to you that you just can鈥檛 make sense of or move on from. Maybe you don鈥檛 even know why you鈥檙e not ok and just want to figure things out鈥

Whatever the reason, therapy can offer you the time and space to offload, express yourself and work towards finding deeper levels of self-awareness and heightened levels of self-fulfilment.

I can provide a compassionate and safe environment for this exploration over short or longer periods of time with varying levels of depth. All dependant on what you want or need at this moment in your life.

There is no one else quite like you. Only you have experienced your life, felt your joy and cried your tears. You are unique! I believe in encouraging you to be you, helping you to be become freer from life鈥檚 conditioning and expectations. For this reason, I am very flexible in my approach to therapy and offer a wide range of research and evidence based tools and interventions that can really work.

A wise man once said that 鈥渃hange can happen鈥 and in my 12 years of experience I have seen this demonstrated even after the darkest of times. As your therapist, I make a deep commitment to be alongside you for as long as you need.

Practice description

As an Integrative Counsellor I have been trained to select a small handful of different theoretical approaches to develop my own distinct way of working. The approaches I have chosen mirror my own personality and allow for me to work to my strengths. I believe in working with the whole person, this includes your emotions, thinking, beliefs, family, life situation etc. I will adapt the use of these methods depending on you and your needs.
