About me
Seeking help can be hard; we rarely come knowing what will make things better. I want to suggest to you that opening up to another human, who can offer you support without being entangled in the rest of your life, is a path worth taking. Maybe you know exactly what it is in your life you need support with - a past experience or relationship, a difficult emotion you can't shake. Maybe your usual habits and ways of coping have stopped working. Maybe you know something needs to change, but you aren't sure what.
As a Psychodynamic Counsellor, I will help you gain a better understanding of your inner worlds by exploring experiences, relationships, and emotions in your past and present. As connections emerge between these, our lives often start to feel more bearable. I will accompany you on this journey with compassion and attention, and without judgment.
I offer a 15-minute initial consultation where we can explore whether we might be a good fit to work together. If we don’t work together, I can also offer advice on what other avenues you might consider.
