Email meAbout me
It is my belief that the people we are today, the way we think, feel and behave is influenced and shaped by our life experiences and relationships. Sometimes our experiences and relationships can have a negative impact on our lives and distort our thoughts, feelings and behaviour leaving us with feelings we struggle to understand or find difficult to cope with. With my help and support you can explore whatever difficulties you are struggling with and discover how your past may be influencing the way you think, feel and behave in the present. I will help you to recognise and make sense of any thoughts, feelings or patterns of behaviour you are troubled by or don't understand.
To do this, I will provide a safe, confidential, and comfortable environment at a regular time for you to express and explore those difficulties. Working together, I will offer you tools and techniques to help you discover your inner strengths and uncover the links between your past experiences and present thoughts, feelings and behaviour. This will empower you to find your own solutions to your difficulties, broaden your sense of self, and enable you to make lasting, effective positive change as you move forward with your life.
My work encompasses working with adults and young people age 16+
As a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) I adhere to their ethical guidelines for safe practice and attend regular supervision.
