About me
Hello,
If you are reading this then you might be feeling sad, stressed or anxious. We all go through challenging times in our lives when things can seem very difficult. I offer a safe, supportive and honest space where we can explore your individual challenges. My aim is to help you not only resolve conflicts and issues but to also be able to express your unique individuality and potential.
"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." CG Jung
The therapeutic process is a journey not just of overcoming current issues but of learning to live the life we are meant to live. As well as understanding past traumas and present difficulties, we will also work together to discover what adds purpose and meaning to your life.
I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor with several years of experience and working with a range of clients.
I offer one hour weekly sessions on either short term or open ended basis.
I am an Individual member of the UKCP and abide by its code of ethics.
