About me and my therapy practice
You may be suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship issues or just feeling low or sad. My role is to work alongside you as you come to terms with all aspects of your life, uncover your potential and find what is of purpose, meaning and value to you.
I am a highly trained psychologist, counsellor, coach, supervisor and group facilitator. I am passionate about providing a psychotherapeutic space that enables individuals to begin their inner journey.
As a practitioner I work with clients as they focus on their life as a whole, to consider their past and present experiences and to include their future potential. I also seek to inspire self-reflection, encourage commitment to positive action and promote implementation of concepts, plans and ideas.
How counselling can help
Talking with a professional, who is not directly involved in your day to day life, gives you an opportunity to begin to explore challenging issues and obtain coping strategies for the future.
Some people need support in dealing with difficult emotional symptoms like stress or anxiety whilst others need support to get through a difficult time in their life. Some may feel unfulfilled in their relationships and struggle to find purpose. Others may be suffering as a result of loss or serious illness.
These turbulent times can create a period of uncertainty and isolation and counselling can provide a safe and confidential space to begin to develop greater self awareness, find meaningful activity and include positive relationships in your life.
