About me and my therapy practice

Counselling helps us think about what is happening currently in our lives . The way we react to  a set of  circumstances or problems  can be rooted in our past , which then effects how we react to these in the present. My role as a therapist is to listen to your story and to work with you in a supportive and containing way to make sense of what is currently causing you to feel depressed, anxious, stressed or worried.

By validating the importance of your feelings, it  enables us to work together within the therapeutic relationship to explore  and think about possible ways forward. 

I work in an integrative and relational way which is informed by both Psychodynamic and humanistic ways of thinking. This means that it is a non- judgemental ,safe and confidential way of working.
