Email meAbout me
I provide a calm, peaceful reflective space where clients can safely and confidentially explore what is happening in their lives. My aim is to get alongside the client to gain understanding of what it is like in their world. I feel this is essential in enabling me to provide non-judgemental acceptance and empathic understanding. I see working with clients as a journey that we take together, side by side as the client "shows" me their world. I work at the client's own pace; exploring only those aspects the clients wishes to visit.
For some clients; this journey can be straightforward and the work can sometimes be short term. For others, the difficulty that brought them to counselling can sometimes be linked to past life events. This can occasionally make the journey painful and challenging and I always work at the client's own pace, safely. I feel that being truly heard and having the pain of past life events witnessed by another who meets this pain with kindness and compassion can be powerfully healing.
