Profile
As a GP Practice Counsellor, I have worked with hundreds of people suffering from problems in all areas, including depression, anxiety, stress, family and relationship problems, bereavement and other losses, workplace issues, infertility, coping with illness, and childhood trauma and abuse.
It has been very rewarding for me over the years to see how people who are open to change and willing to take responsibility for their own wellbeing can, with a little support and encouragement, make a full recovery in a relatively short space of time.
With over fifteen years experience in Psychodynamic Counselling, I have come to understand how we develop as individuals, and how our earliest experiences can shape the way we go on dealing with life. This particularly affects our relationships, and I have studied in great detail how we connect with those around as well as the relationship we have with ourselves, which can be so easily damaged by the problems we encountered in the past. My extensive training has shown me the impact of such damage; for this reason the approach I take looks at both the internal and external factors which might be making a person stressed, anxious or depressed.
Whatever your problem, I and my highly skilled colleagues Jill, Marise and Nick at The Wellbeing Therapy Centre are here not only to listen, empathise and support but also to offer you new perspectives which will enable you to find a way forward. We look forward to working with you!
