About me
Do you feel out of control, has something happened in your life that you can’t understand, do you feel so low that you don’t know where to turn. If you are looking on this web site, you are already toying with the idea of coming to counselling. I can offer you a safe and contained space to help you to examine your problems. I am an experienced and highly qualified therapist. My main initial training was in psychodynamic theory, but I prefer working integratively, which means that I use different theoretical models to enable me to work in the best possible way for each individual client and their problems. I do believe though, that therapy is not a sticking plaster to be quickly applied when a crack appears. I believe that there are deep seated reasons why we feel and behave as we do, and these need to be understood before you can begin the healing process. Sometimes problems start when we are unable to access or express our feelings adequately, I can help you to understand your feelings which will lead you to become strong enough to express them.
You may think you do not need counselling it’s not for you it’s for other people; that you can sort your own problems out, but there’s a part of you that wants help. There is no need to struggle on by your self, it is not a weakness to come to counselling, it is a strength. It means that you are strong enough to admit that you need help and strong enough to do something about it.
