About me
I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist with over 25 years experience of therapeutic work with adults and young people.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and of the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC) and I abide by the code of ethics of both these professional bodies.
Can talking about the things which are troubling you really help ?
I believe it can.
Many people experience a time in their lives when anxieties seem to overwhelm them. Talking about your fears and anxieties in a safe, non-judgmental space with an experienced, qualified counsellor and psychotherapist can allow you to explore your emotional issues and help you come to terms with them.
My therapeutic approach can help you to explore and understand the less obvious, unconscious aspects of your thoughts, feelings and behaviour. I believe that gaining insight into the nature of underlying emotional conflicts can bring insight and a sense of relief which opens up the possibility of changing unhelpful patterns, that were previously repeated without self-awareness.
If you are feeling you need to talk about matters that are causing you anxiety and concern, contact me for a free consultation.
