Hi there, how are you doing?

Sometimes that first step can be the hardest, welcome to my page.

Life can sometimes be so overwhelming and the should's, ought to's and what if's can be very stressful and destabilising. Intrusive thoughts can cause feelings of fear and uncertainty and take us away from our true nature.

My intention is to support you to get to know yourself and to intentionally soften the judgemental inner voice and to develop self-acceptance and self-compassion so that you are better equipped to deal with life's ups and downs. Through the work we do together I empower people to trust in themselves and develop a strong sense of self and agency. I believe that it is important to recognise that your needs, emotions and desires matter and I will support you to explore what you are experiencing without judgement. My hope for you is that you come away from our work together feeling empowered and believing in your own worth and recognising all that you are capable of.

I provide a safe, warm and supportive space where personal experiences, vulnerabilities and insecurities can be expressed without fear of judgement.

In my practice I compassionately weave the principles of Mindfulness based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Person Centred Counselling, Gestalt, and Eastern contemplative practices to create a holistic session which will support clients to bring about change into their lives and to truly discover who they are.

I am here to support people in a variety of ways

Lack of confidence and low self-worth

Deepening self-awareness

Unlocking creativity and growth potentials

Overcoming limiting self-beliefs

Anxiety

Cope with grief or loss

Develop healthy relationships

Deal with feelings of depression or sadness

Explore identity

In our first session together we take the time to identify what brings you to counselling and what you would like to get out of it, along with exploring any questions you may have about the counselling process.  I think it is very helpful to consider and identify what changes you would like to see for yourself as you move forward.
