Profile

As a Humanistic therapist I believe that when we have the support we require, we heal, grow and resolve many of our problems. Our life becomes more satisfying and fulfilling.

People often come to counselling and psychotherapy to deal with crises in their lives or because they are no longer prepared to tolerate an ongoing situation. Here we have the opportunity to be heard in a safe, confidential environment and to come to understand and appreciate ourselves more fully. We can share our deepest concerns and receive support in meeting the challenges we face.

By being receptive,open and non-judgemental, my aim is to provide a supportive environment in which you will feel able to share your experience and feel heard with clarity and compassion. This will allow you to understand yourself more fully, challenge unhelpful patterns and make any changes necessary.

We will have an ongoing dialogue about the work, so you are in control of the pace and methods which you find most effective. I work by drawing on a variety of Humanistic theoretical approaches,such as Gestalt and Formative Psychology.

Clients describe me as a warm, empathic practitioner and I use humour and compassion in my work.
