About me
Are you experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression or sadness? Perhaps you're finding yourself becoming more and more isolated from friends and family. Feeling this way can happen for many reasons; maybe you've been bereaved, your relationship has broken down or your life feels as though it hasn't worked out the way you hoped it would.
As a counsellor I will work with you to explore these feelings and understand them. We will explore your beliefs and sometimes I may gently challenge them, this can help to see things from a new perspective. Talking and having someone really listen to you can help you foster your ability to self heal.
As an integrative counsellor I can offer you short term solution focused sessions or longer-term sessions for deeper exploration. We’ll review our work together on a regular basis to ensure you’re finding it beneficial and the therapy is moving at a pace that’s comfortable for you.
