About me and my therapy practice
Welcome. I believe counselling, is meeting yourself, which is a courageous choice.
It can be hard to be with the feelings or behaviours you don't like, or views of yourself that are uncomfortable. You may not know why you feel, or don't feel a certain way - which in itself can be confusing. Perhaps others have painfully impacted you, or you'd like to explore your actions. You may notice things 'just aren't right' feel low, lethargic, anxious, alone, or have physical symptoms (non-medical) & can't figure out why.
Regardless of where you are, I offer an accepting, warm environment, where I work to hear you with open careful curiosity to facilitate an experience a genuine, compassionate understanding of you in your world. This can open room to explore and help you make sense of your world. A process (not a magic wand) that can help unearth aspects of yourself, or situations that prevent your authentic living.

Practice description
The therapy I provide is for individuals, couples/groups, either at the counselling room, remotely, expressively, or walk and talk, but always with 'you' the client at the heart.
I recognise life isn't always straightforward, difficulties and complications can make it hard for you (or) your relationship(s). Sometimes speaking to well meaning friends and family doesn't always help; this is when contacting a trained counsellor can be beneficial.
You are valued within your diversity, and I work to ensure I acknowledge, and appreciate your differences. This includes awareness equality, diversity and inclusion, to do what I can to educate myself on difference; as well offer adjustments where required.

My first session
What is and why have an initial session?
I offer an initial 30-minute session, this can be face to face or via phone or video link. However, regardless of the platform of communication this is your chance to see if therapy with me is something you'd like to pursue. It's also an opportunity for you to explore what you would like to achieve through therapy, as well as have an insight into how I work. The counselling agreement-contract, including the boundaries and limitations of the sessions are also be explained. If you're happy to continue, we can find a mutually agreeable time and day to meet on a regular basis.
