About me and my therapy practice
I am a counsellor & psychotherapist with a sensitive and respectful approach. I offer a compassionate space to explore complicated and painful feelings and help you find a way forward.
Life events have a way of stirring up internal often unconscious vulnerabilities. I help clients identify and make sense of their internal struggles so they can better manage and take steps to overcome them.
Practice description
I like to build strong therapeutic relationships with my clients based on trust and understanding. No two people have the same experience. I help you access hard-to-reach feelings, explore the root cause of your pain and empower you to overcome your vulnerabilities and struggles.
Past experiences and early family relationships shape us and influence the way we relate to others, experience the world and negotiate life's challenges.
In therapy we will explore:
- The way your past impacts your present (particularly in the form of early family dynamics)
- Your relationship patterns and attachment style
- Thoughts and behaviours which lie outside your conscious control
- Repetitive patterns in the way you think and feel which may be self-sabotaging
- The underlying cause of your symptoms
My first session
Initial Call (15 minutes) I offer a free call-back to discuss your counselling needs and give you the chance to ask questions.
Assessment (90 minutes) This is a 'structured' and extended session to understand what brings you to therapy. We discuss your expectations and I ask questions to gain insight into your personal history. The assessment allows us to see if we feel comfortable working together. (£90)
