About me and my therapy practice
Are things happening in your life that are causing you to feel anxious, worried, or depressed. Are you experiencing illness, low self-esteem, or loneliness? You may not be sure what is exactly troubling you or making you feel the way you do, but together we can explore this.
As a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor experienced in supporting adults and young people on a one-to-one basis I can support you to address issues such as anxiety, depression, separation, stress, loneliness, low self-esteem, anger management and grief. Person-centred therapy is at the core of my practice. Person-centred holds the belief that all of us have the power to find the best solutions for ourselves and make appropriate changes in our lives. I don’t claim to be an expert on how you can deal with the problems you face, but I am here to help you find the solution which is best for you. There is no magic wand, and I don’t have a ‘fix-it’ kit but I am committed to working with you for as long as you need me. Above all, I won’t judge or criticise you and together we will work through the difficulties you are facing.
We can explore what is happening for you in the here and now and hold an awareness that our present can be influenced by our past. Although we can’t change the past, we can work through and understand the impact of your past experiences – this can make a difference and how you move forward in the future.
