Are you an overthinker? Would you consider yourself to be quite sensitive? Struggling with people-pleasing tendencies or self-esteem issues? Are you currently going through an internal conflict? If this resonates with you, I can support you. I am a Highly Sensitive, Psychotherapeutic Counsellor who specialises in working with individuals who struggle with self-esteem issues, and people-pleasing and are quite sensitive in nature. You may be feeling tired of being stuck in repeated patterns and find yourself longing for change, yet needing assistance to work through them.
In our sessions, you'll find a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your innermost thoughts and feelings. I aim to offer you space for guided introspection so that you can uncover the emotional and psychological blockages that are holding you back. Together, we'll delve into what's troubling you, to uncover insights and clarity to move forward.
I will help to guide you towards developing a more harmonious relationship with yourself and in turn, others. My therapeutic approach involves addressing the whole person, including the mind, body and spirit. I offer both short and long-term sessions. Book a free introductory call with me today!
