About me
About me
I am an individual and couple psychodynamic counsellor/psychotherapist, with many years experience working with adults, couples and older people.
I offer a confidential, calm, safe space for us to explore whatever may be troubling you. A relationship problem, a bereavement, or maybe a more general feeling of unhappiness? Perhaps you feel anxious, or low much of the time? Work stress? Maybe early life experiences or difficult memories are impacting your sense of well-being in the present.
The therapy will involve taking time to think about and gain an understanding of how past experiences and relationships may influence how we feel about ourselves, and have an impact on how we manage the inevitable ups and downs of life.
We will look carefully at whatever it is that is causing you distress in your life now, and with the current difficulties as a starting point will journey forward to help you towards a less troubled and more fulfilling future.

Getting started
If you are thinking about taking the first step, I would be pleased to hear from you. You are welcome to ring or email me with any questions you have about counselling, or about the way I work. If you then decide you would like to meet, we can arrange an initial session. This will give us an opportunity to think about what is troubling you, and we can decide together whether counselling is the best way forward for you, or whether a different therapeutic approach would be more appropriate. Also, this initial meeting gives you a chance to see if you feel comfortable with me, and with the way I work.
I hope to be able to help you.
