A first step
Our lives can feel confusing and overwhelming at times. Sometimes events happen or situations escalate and you find yourself in a world that’s hard to understand and to have peace with.
My aim is to help you make sense of the life you are living and to find understanding and peace around the matters that are important to you. I work with people by listening to their experiences and their emotions around those experiences. Together we can figure out what’s going on that might be causing the problem.
I'm a qualified counsellor and a member of the British Association for Pyschotherapists and Counsellors (BACP). I have worked with people suffering from separation from their children and who have very sadly lost children. My work has included supporting people experiencing domestic abuse, bereavment and issues with their intimate and family relationships.
I have an appreciation of neurodiversity and some of the complications that can bring to life, and I am alternative lifestyle inclusive.
My philosophy
Individuality
I respect and value the uniqueness of each person and therefore adapt my therapy to your individual needs and preferences. We're all different and you're the expert in you.
Responsibility
I take my responsibility as a counsellor seriously and am committed to providing you with the confidential support and safe space you need.
Appreciation
I value each person as an individual and recognize your experience and desires as your unique place in the world. We'll work together in a way that best suits your particular way of doing things.
What you can expect
Confidentiality
The things you and I talk about will remain between you and I. Client confidentiality is at the core of my working ethic.
Empathy
Our work together will involve me coming to understand your world the very best I can. No matter your experience, I will support and hold your story with kindness and empathy.
Transparency
I believe that the best support I can give you as a therapist is in the forming of our relationship and in that relationship I will be truthful with you about the emotions discussed and experienced.
Let's work together on your future.
If you are ready to take the first step, get in touch with me.
I will support you in gaining more clarity about yourself, understanding your feelings and perhaps developing new paths for your life situation.
