Profile

My goal is to give you 'Time to talk, Time to be heard.....Time for you' in a confidential, safe and non-judgmental environment. In practice what this means is that I offer clients the opportunity to talk openly about what is distressing them and restricting their potential to be the person they want to be.

I say 'want to' as I believe there is a tendency for many of us to think about what we 'should do' to lead a 'normal' life. This can suppress our own emotions and uniqueness, and often lead us to live our lives according to what is best for others rather than what is best for our own wellbeing. To put that at the forefront of our thoughts isn't about being selfish it is simply about taking care of yourself so that you have more energy and enthusiasm to do the things you want to do. Counselling at its best can give the individual an opportunity to discover what they want, what they want to change in their lives, what they want to stop hurting etc. What I seek to do is work with you and provide space for you to review and hopefully come to terms with those parts of your life which trouble you, thus giving you the opportunity to make changes and your own choices for the future.
