 You have it in you to create the best that you can from your circumstances.  Counselling is about change, so we will find out what has brought you to counselling, what you want to change. We take all the time you need to explore how you feel about things. With support, you can assimilate negative feelings as part of your life. You can feel their hold over you lessening, and see more expansive, creative paths ahead.

I believe that change happens through a supportive healing relationship. Clients say it makes such a difference to have someone listening, not judging. We also slow things down, allowing you a safe and supportive space to realise that you are able to live with the emotions that have caused you difficulty, and you can come out the other side, seeing and experiencing your situation in a more confident and creative way.

Counselling helps you  to take charge of your life, so I suggest we see the first session as a chance to focus on the direction you would like to head in to create more of the life you want.

I will answer any questions you have about counselling and then I'll be interested to hear about your life and what has brought you here now, but we will take things at a pace that you feel comfortable with. Hopefully we will build a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe enough to gradually share the parts of you that you normally don't engage with. By bringing these hidden parts out into the light, they lose their power, and you will find yourself able to have more control over your life, and able to live in a lighter manner.
