About me

Life for everyone can, at times, present challenges and changes that can feel overwhelming and hard to deal with. Sometimes it is difficult to cope and events and life cycles can make us feel differently about the world we inhabit or force us into situations that we struggle to be in. I believe that I can help to provide an opportunity to explore where you are and what troubles you, in an environment that is non-judgemental, safe and confidential.

Working through difficulties can be uncomfortable and challenging and insightful and fulfilling. Helping to create an honest and trusting relationship with you in a warm and secure environment is crucial to helping with whatever you bring to counselling and to allow you to feel respected and heard.

Clients that I have worked with have said they have gained a sense of self-awareness through the counselling process, that has helped them to understand their difficulties. They have gained awareness of how sometimes past and present events or influences have shaped their view of themselves and others. The opportunity to talk through struggles and difficulties has allowed them to look at the possibilities of a better life for them and for those around them.

Counselling is an opportunity to review, heal and repair and I would work in a way that is manageable and feasible for you.

The first counselling session as an opportunity for you to decide whether you feel comfortable working with me and for me to find out if I might be the right person to help you. I can work flexibly, offering one session a week initially and either seeing you weekly short term (6-12 sessions) or for longer term work on a weekly or fortnightly basis.

I look forward to hearing from you.
