About me
Who am I and how do I work?
1 in 4 of us will experience difficulties and need to seek help and support at some point in our lives. Being able to talk about things with someone who can provide you with the right help can make a real difference. But taking the first step can be hard - you'll find that I offer a welcoming, safe and non-judgemental space to explore, understand and grow at your own pace.
I'm passionate about helping people to achieve as much change as possible in the shortest reasonable time, whilst recognizing that for some, this might require a longer-term view - ultimately, it's all about helping you to achieve a more positive and fulfilling way of living that lasts! I offer confidential and non-judgmental time and space to think and reflect, and use a number of tried and tested therapeutic techniques, including deep relaxation and guided imagery to help you to understand and transform your experiences and emotions with compassion and a different perspective.
I use an integrative, solutions focused approach which seeks to understand whether your emotional needs are being met in a healthy and balanced way, the patterns and past experiences that frame your world view and use your own innate and personal resources to achieve powerful and lasting change. Using a number of tried and tested therapeutic techniques, including deep relaxation and guided imagery I can help you explore your issues in a way that enables you to take a more objective and compassionate viewpoint, dealing quickly and effectively with trauma in order to release the lock between experiences and unhelpful emotions in a quick, safe and non-threatening way. Whatever your past experience or present situation, we can work together to find a more empowered, balanced and healthy future.
