We all experience difficult times in our life. Events and situations become complicated and sometimes overwhelming. We can lose sight of who we are, what we want and why we do what we do. Life is challenging and sometimes we need some help.

Talking to a trained professional counsellor is an opportunity to talk to someone who can support you with those challenges. My role as a counsellor is to provide you with a space to think and talk about what is happening in your own way; to support you in making sense of what is happening in your world. To hear you and see you. To enable you to examine your past and present experiences to gain a better understanding of them. To think through those experiences with you and together we can create some fresh perspectives that will allow you to see them yourself and your world differently.

Counselling isn’t about providing you with solutions or advice. I will never tell you what to do. It is about empowering you so you figure out your own way and to be able to do that moving forward yourself.

My approach to therapy is psychodynamic counselling. This approach is a non-judgemental way of working that explores why we are who we are. It focusses in on our unconscious ways of thinking and behaving and considers how they are working for us today. We think deeply about the impacts of our inner thoughts and feelings and consider how changes can be made within to achieve our goals.
