How counselling can help
At times we may come across difficulties in our lives and feel overwhelmed by our emotions. Most of us try to manage stressful times but often it helps to talk about our thoughts and feelings with a professional counsellor in a safe, non-judgemental space. Counselling can help provide a space to make meaningful connections, resulting in a greater sense of worth.
My approach
I am a warm and approachable person. I am able to offer a confidential and safe environment to explore how you are feeling and what is happening for you right now in your life. We will work together looking at thoughts and feelings. I work using an integrative approach, such as CBT, Humanistic and psychodynamic. I will aim to work with feelings that are present in the moment, often bringing mindfulness into sessions if clients are open to this.
