About me
You may be experiencing stress in one or more of its many forms- issues with sleep, eating, fixation, fear, rumination, motivation and mood. You may even have been told you 'have' anxiety or depression or given a different diagnosis. You may be traumatised. You may just know that things could be better. Whether your distress is new or you can trace it back in time some years, you are now ready to move on from the past, reclaim your resiliency and thrive moving forward.
As a human givens psychotherapist and counselor, I work from the understanding that emotional wellbeing and clear thinking is the natural result of having our physical and emotional needs met in balance. We have been "given" these needs as, well as resources to meet them, by nature.
Working together we can identify practical steps you can take to build a better and more robust life for yourself. This can look like developing coping skills, harnessing imagination for problem-solving, resolving traumatic memories, or gathering courage for bigger changes. Most people can be helped in 4-6 sessions, although some people only need one or two and others with more complex difficulties may require more.
