About me and my therapy practice
Whoever you choose to talk to, please know that by being here, you’ve already taken a meaningful first step toward finding a happier, more content version of yourself.
Even the strongest among us can find life difficult at times. The power of talking—really talking—should never be underestimated. Speaking your true thoughts and feelings out loud (without filtering, as we often do with family or friends so as not to upset or burden them) can bring clarity and a deeper understanding of yourself, your emotions, and what you truly need.
I’m here to listen, to understand, and to help you explore what’s going on for you, and what you might need to begin moving forward.
My approach...........
As a trained and qualified Integrative Counsellor, I draw on Person-Centred Therapy, Transactional Analysis, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to support you in a way that suits your individual needs. This means we can work together in a flexible and compassionate way that best suits you.
I offer a warm, down-to-earth, safe and confidential space where you can explore, without any judgment, whatever is troubling you. I work empathically and professionally alongside you to help you understand how your thoughts, feelings and behaviours are impacting your everyday life. Together, we’ll explore how things feel for you and what they mean, helping you make sense of your experiences. From there, we can begin to develop new ways of thinking and responding that ease the distress you're currently facing.
