About me and my therapy practice
Is something not working in your life? Are unsure about how fix it? If so, therapy is a good place to start. I help my clients to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. I help them to build a stronger sense of who they are and find their way in life when they feel lost, uncertain or overwhelmed. Whether you are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, sadness, low self-esteem or past trauma, I can help you to start to find a way through - to see that you are more than the difficulties that you are going through - so that together, we can find the hope and healing that lay beyond.
The therapeutic context that we hold together is that you are more than your wounding or your past. We will work together to explore and heal past trauma or wounding but in service of the person that you wish to become and the life that you want to live so that you can congruently and authentically move forward with hope and purpose.
My approach is to work in the relationship that we build between us so that together, we can better understand what is going on for you, help you to better understand who you are and support you to make the changes that will help you to become who you want to be.
Practice description
Whatever the reason that you have decided to seek counselling, I acknowledge and respect your courage in taking a step into the unknown, when life is already full of challenges.
I offer you a warm and safe space where you can think and talk through what is in your heart and on your mind and the issues or problems that you are dealing with. We can think and talk together about what that means for you and your life, what changes you would like to make and how you can do that.
As an integrative therapist, I am able to call on different tools, techniques and methods to meet your needs. My approach is to work in the relationship that we build between us so that together, we can better understand what is going on for you, help you to better understand who you are and support you to make the changes that you feel will help you to become who you want to be. I will walk with you, support you and witness you on that journey.
