Profile

The clients I work with often come to me feeling "stuck", knowing that they are not reaching their fullest potential and aware that aspects of their behaviour sometimes holds them back from making the most of their lives.

I am an experienced Therapist having worked in Counselling Agencies and in Private Practice for several years helping adults and adolescents through difficult and challenging times.

There may be past or present experiences that hinder personal development. Memories, thoughts or feelings that replay in the mind, not being able to make sense of them. It can often feel like a weight is being carried which may sometimes lead to producing levels of frustration and anxiety which affect everyday life.

Past life experiences may be impacting current relationships which can cause confusion, insecurity and sometimes conflict. It can be useful in order to move forward with existing relationships to trace the source of a person's responses, helping make sense of their reactions and repeated pattterns of behaviour in personal or work situations.

I work at my client's pace and according to their needs. I endeavour to enable my clients to explore whatever issues they need to in a non -judgemental, accepting and confidential therapeutic environment. I work with clients helping them tap into their own healing potential, together with increasing levels of self awareness in order to be empowered to be able to make more positive life choices.

 I am able to utilise different therapeutic approaches in sessions to suit individual needs, designed to enable clients to develop their own means of self empowerment and abilities in order to feel more confident to handle what has either happened in their past or in preparation for the future.  Working methods including C.B.T. and Cognitive Hypnotherapy along with a strong grounding in Person Centred counselling create an eclectic therapuetic mix in which to navigate and explore.

I am always mindful and sensitive to what is being discussed and aware how difficult it can often be to actually take the first step to seek help and support. It is important to recognise that therapy is a collaborative process focussing together on what the therapy is about and working towards whatever it may be that is most important for a person to realise in their lives.
