Counsellor Profile

I offer therapy because I believe it is important for each person to have a place where they feel safe to talk about what troubles them and feel understood; where there is someone who is willing to stay alongside and work with them, in their search to discover what is for them a better way of living.
From an early age I felt concern for indiduals in distress, and as an adult this drew me to working for several years as a volunteer for a charity offering emotional and practical help in families where a member was terminally ill. Later the desire to work professionally, in greater depth and with more understanding led me to train as a psychoynamic counsellor and finally to undertaking a psychotherapy training.
The difficulties we have in our lives and in relationships are often unkowingly connected with earlier experiences. Linking up the past with the present within a therapeutic relationship can bring about understanding, greater self acceptance and enable change.
