Have you ever wondered if counselling is right for you? Do you want to explore the idea in a safe, judgement free environment? Your search is over, luckily you have found me and that's exactly what we can together! My therapeutic style of practice involves creating a safe, empathetic environment where successful relationships are built on trust due to an open-minded, non-judgmental approach.

Human connections are the threads that weave our lives together. They provide us with a sense of belonging, purpose, and emotional nourishment. Yet, within these intricate bonds, we encounter a kaleidoscope of emotions. Uncomfortable feelings may arise from repressed memories of past traumas, grief over life's losses, alongside additional stressors of modern day living and a host of other variables. In the midst of this emotional tapestry, therapy becomes a sanctuary—a space where we untangle these threads, explore our inner landscapes, and find solace. It’s where vulnerability meets resilience, and healing begins.

Most of my clients come to me knowing they are not happy but they don't always know why. Sometimes it is because of the people and circumstances around them and sometimes it is because they keep repeating the same behaviours that are not producing a happy life for them. My job is to help people understand what it is in their lives that they are not happy with, or want to change and to imagine a life with the new changes in it. I work with the client to provide a safe, comfortable environment for them to explore what is going on for them and how they can make the changes to live a happy, fulfilling life.

If you are thinking of starting a therapy you may be willing to deal with painful issues that can manifest in various shapes and intensity and have an impact on the day-to-day life; such issues are personal and linked both to personality and life events. A disturb can express in different ways and symptoms, like panic attacks, Depression, psychosomatic symptoms, Anxiety etc. Other times there is rather a generic feeling of discomfort that needs to be defined and addressed.

Over the years most of the client issues I have encountered encompass loss and control in some way, shape or form. Many clients feel out of control, and helpless or in complete despair, and would like to be able to clear a pathway for themselves to work out a more manageable way of living with less anxiety. Clients want to be listened to, and for some that is a rare luxury as friends and family often have their own agenda. Regular reviews to reflect where a client is, in relation to their therapy journey are part of the therapeutic process and help to build trust and structure.
