If you are experiencing emotional pain, anxiety, or going through a difficult period, then finding a counsellor to talk to in confidence, in the short or long term, could be a turning point.

Counselling, though a different experience for all of us, relies on building a healing relationship between you as the client and me as the counsellor. It is through this relationship you will gain greater understanding of yourself.

We can all feel alone and isolated at times. People come to counselling for many different reasons and often find it a transformative experience. You may need someone to help you to express yourself and find a way to talk about what is troubling you. You might want support when events are painful and you feel unable to cope alone. Through counselling we will build a trusting therapeutic relationship that will allow you the space and time to share and explore your feelings. Having a safe space to talk can help you open up and rediscover parts you have forgotten, understand yourself and find new strengths to build a more fulfilled future Counselling can be hard, but through the work, you will build a stronger, more trusting relationship with yourself.

As an integrative counsellor I will collaborate with you to identify the support you need, in a safe, neutral, non-judgmental environment, allowing you to explore issues at your pace.

I use Clarkson's relational model. This therapeutic framework allows a flexible approach, drawing together various aspects from psychodynamic, person-centred, and transpersonal traditions, helping you to find effective ways to understand your issues.
