About me
You may have been wanting to make change for a while now, but have found yourself unable to do so. You might feel unsatisfied with certain areas in your life or don’t understand why you keep getting stuck in the same situations. Maybe you’re looking at other people and wonder why you feel so different from them. Perhaps you’ve been thinking of starting counselling, but find it difficult to reach out. Whatever you’re going through, therapy can provide you with a space to process your feelings and help you move forward.
But I believe counselling is about more than just solving problems. It’s about creating a real connection where you can feel truly heard and understood. This means that therapy with me isn’t only for when things go wrong. It’s also a place for self-development, reflection, and becoming more of who you want to be.
My experience of working in a low-cost counselling agency and in a prestigious residential rehab means I've worked with people from all walks of life. This has shown me that no two people are the same, and so I tailor my approach to meet you exactly where you’re at. I bring my true self into the therapy room - straightforward, warm, and often with a touch of humour. My approach is simple: be honest, be real, and create a space where you can relax enough to explore what’s going on for you.
Let’s face it, you’ll only be willing to go where you need to go if you feel safe enough in our relationship. That's why establishing trust early on is essential for me. This partly ensures our work together is trauma-informed. We’ll reflect on common themes and patterns, and share our views on how your past might have influenced your present, and what you can do to make lasting changes for the future. But if talking about the past feels Too Big, don’t worry, working with addiction has taught me how to work in the Here and Now, also.
