About me
You may be looking at this page because you are experiencing anxiety or depression; maybe you have had a recent loss or other trauma, or a significant life change; perhaps life is just tough, and you need help to build your resilience; or maybe you’ve decided the time is right to look more closely at some past event, or some aspect of your life, your behaviours, your relationships, that don’t feel as satisfactory as you’d like them to.
Perhaps something big is looming and you’re feeling unsure about what decision to take or how you will cope. Perhaps you are feeling sad, or you just feel “uuughhhh!” and don’t want to feel like that anymore.
Whatever is troubling you, talking to the right person can help.
How I work
I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor. This means I draw on a variety of counselling approaches in how I work, and precisely what this looks like will depend on the relationship we build.
I believe the first step towards change is awareness, and then acceptance. When we use a map, we have to know and accept where we are before we can find the route to our destination.
I will aim, together with you, to create a safe and open space where you can, when you are ready, and in your own time, lay out your troubles and your joys so you can see them more clearly.
Whatever you say to me is received without judgment and held in confidence.
Equality and diversity
We live in a world with substantial inequalities. In the UK, this is acknowledged in law in The Equality Act 2010. The Act lists a number of protected characteristics, however this is not an exhaustive list of ways in which we may be unequal. I invite you to consider whether and how inequality may have affected, or be affecting, you. If this is something you would like to explore with me, I would welcome this.
