Who I Am
Counselling Approach
I am an integrative therapist with a strong focus on person centred counselling. I aim to help you find the best path towards peace of mind and self fulfilment.
Counselling can be the first time in your life when you are really heard and have the chance to express yourself the way you want. It can help you discover what lies behind your feelings and behaviour patterns. Finding out why you feel the way you do gives you the choice to make changes.
You are not alone, and often the power of being able to share your thoughts and feelings changes how you feel about yourself and take the next step.
Anxiety, depression, loneliness, grief, anger, fear or a sense of isolation can become overwhelming and sitting in a safe place with someone who can really hear you can be the start of a new way of feeling and living.
