Qualified therapeutic counsellor

I offer you my warmth & acknowledge your courage in taking your first steps in the search for a therapist. Your arrival on my website, which highlights your strength & curiosity in how I could help you.

These first few steps are not easy and I wish to assure you that I recognise this.

My passion lies in understanding how we manage our need to connect and relate to people in our lives. As human beings we are innately driven to connect with people, literally for our survival, this is what being human means, to connect and attach. From our imprinting in childhood to making sense of our thinking and feelings, is a lifelong quest, a learning that is like no other, because it means you are learning how to explore differently, be curious, understand your thinking, and to heal.

This learning is about you, and there is no one like you.

My welcoming you is an acknowledgement to understanding yourself in a deeper relational way. We will discover together, your beliefs about you and your life, enabling you to be curious about how you have perceived the world and people around you. The willingness you have in you to try new ways of connecting to others, will be the path to you being able to live authentically, the way you want, with whom you want, living in the present.

You might be struggling to understand your own feelings with what is going on for you at this moment. You may be experiencing distress, anxiety, emotion about a situation or trying to manage a crisis or life changing event. It may be that you feel lost, have low self esteem or depressed and are struggling to understand how or why you feel this way. You might feel emotional, uncertain about a situation, person or relationship. You may think that your emotional well-being is not what it ought to be or have something on your mind.

I offer you a safe & non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at a pace which feels right for you. I have a warm, relational approach offering a harmonious platform to work together bringing fuller understanding of yourself & your life. I will help you to navigate the parts of life which you’ve found difficult to face alone.

I work with people from different backgrounds with a variety of problems, I integrate a range of approaches, adapting how I work to best meet the needs of the person sitting in front of me. Talking about your situation can feel daunting, reaching out to talk could be what it takes to stop suppressing these concerns, which can help your health & well-being.
