About me
A warm hello and welcome to my profile.
During our counselling sessions, I will move alongside you and your unique view of the world at your own pace, while working in collaboration with you to promote your self-awareness, authenticity and self-esteem. People seek counselling for all kinds of reasons. Some may want help with a specific issue and others might want to reach a specific goal. I endeavour to help clients to develop, grow and flourish - whatever that looks like for you.
Arrange a free 20-minute introductory session by phone or video call using the link at the top of this page so that we can establish if we are a good fit for therapy.
*My available timeslots for introductory sessions can change from a week-to-week basis. Don't hesitate to book yourself in, but there's a chance that I'll need to contact you to offer alternatives.*
What counselling can do for you:
My approach to counselling is humanistic and grounded in person-centred principles about human potential. At the heart of the approach is the belief that humans are capable of flourishing when they encounter the right conditions for change. This happens through an innate ability to resolve difficulties and move towards 'being' and accepting who we really are.
This journey looks and feels different for everyone, but processing our thoughts, feelings and experiences in counselling is a good place to start. Self-exploration helps to develop an awareness of how we are affected by what happens to us in our lives. While we unpack the relationship between what happens to us and how we feel, we can reframe and re-evaluate the messages and ideas that we receive from people and events, both in our past and present. From there you can…
- Find ways of coping with stress and anxiety in areas like school/university/exams/work/social life
- Learn how to use boundaries to form healthier relationships
- Better understand your internal reactions and feelings
- Form a healthier relationship with yourself; one which is built on self-compassion, self-acceptance and internal validation
- Uncover meaning and promote your ‘sense of self’
- Connect with your ‘spiritual you’
And much more…
