If you've tried counselling in the past and found you simply couldn't engage--maybe the process was too overwhelming, or maybe it was just too hard talking about what was troubling you--maybe it's time to give RPG therapy a try.  It's safe, it's immersive...and it's also a lot of fun.

RPG therapy is a relatively new addition to the mental health field, making use of ongoing research into the emotional and cognitive benefits of roleplaying and storytelling within a therapeutic environment.  In other words:  right from the get-go, we'll look at your difficulties from a comfortable distance, using fictional characters and scenarios (and dice rolls; lots and lots of dice rolls) to explore a world similar to yours from an outsider's perspective.  We'll see how other people tackle their issues, practice new ways of approaching life, and learn that the world might actually be seen differently.  Plus, you'll get to fight dragons/pilot spaceships/shoot lasers out of your eyes! Maybe even all at the same time.

The most important word here, though, is, "security".  I know it can be really scary, talking about all the different ways in which life hurts--sometimes it can feel like you're reliving the pain, just by recalling it exists.  But here, there's no danger of getting hurt; it's just a story, and we can change anything we like.

So if you're struggling with life, or are just tired of having to fight the world every day, maybe it's time to go on an adventure.  You don't have to face it all on your own, soplease give yourself permission to ask for support. I'm always ready for your call, and would consider it a privilege to work with you.

Talk soon :)

Haunted by the past? Hate the present? Fear the future?

If you're struggling--with life, with relationships, with your own thoughts or feelings--it can be a truly lonely experience. The joy of therapy is that it gives you an ally who will walk alongside you as you face your difficulties, and celebrate with you when you triumph over them (and you will). You no longer need to be alone. If life is a box of chocolates, therapy is the little card that helps you decide which one you want to get. It gives you the knowledge and tools you'll need in order to face the world's challenges; but more importantly, it allows you the opportunity to truly understand why you are the person you are.

I offer two approaches: traditional integrative therapy, which offers you the opportunity to explore your difficulties in detail and so learn to face life differently; and RPG Therapy, which uses storytelling (and dice!) to help mainly younger clients explore their inner worlds. I'm very experienced working with victims of abuse and trauma.

If you're struggling with life, or are just tired of having to fight the world every day, please give yourself permission to ask for support. You don't have to face it all on your own. I'm always ready for your call, and would genuinely consider it a privilege to work with you. Go on, take a chocolate. You deserve it. No, not that one, that's mine.

We'll see you through this.  We will.

Look, I get it.  You're haunted by the past, you hate the present, and you can't see the future getting any better.  Everything is too much of a struggle, and you're all out of hope.  You're tired.

Let's do something about that.  You and me.  Right now.

The moment you started reading this, I became Team You:  your biggest cheerleader, your most reliable ally, your closest confidante.  I'm here for *you*,  and together we'll figure out a way through the darkness that seems to have engulfed your life.  We'll take a look at how and why you got here, let go of what's weighing you down, and develop some tools to help you face the world's challenges.  Don't worry, I'll be with you every step of the way.

And that's the joy of therapy:  it gives you a  companion who will walk alongside you as you face your difficulties, and celebrate with you when you triumph over them (and you will). You no longer need to be alone.

If you're struggling with life, experiencing relationship difficulties, or are just fed up with having to fight the world every day, please give yourself permission to ask for help. You don't have to face it all on your own. I'm always ready for your call, and would genuinely consider it a privilege to work with you.

I am currently only able to offer remote (online- or telephone-) counselling.
