Essentially, counselling and psychotherapy offer us an opportunity to learn about ourselves. And no more so than when it seems hard to cope with the emotional challenges that are often part of everyday life. At these times we may feel on our own, stuck and unsure of which way to turn. It may also be difficult to find someone we can trust and who will understand, or, in such a busy world, someone who has the time to listen. This is when a counsellor or a psychotherapist can help. I offer a caring, safe, respectful and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. This can be done by reflecting on your life experiences, but also who you are as a human being; your dreams, desires, values, aspirations and hopes for the future. This may not be easy at first, but it is only through self-discovery and working out our difficulties that we get to learn about ourselves and truly understand how we want to live our life.
