During your sessions I will aim to fully understand your situation and your feelings, by allowing you to express thoughts and emotions in whatever way you need to. In doing so I aim to help you see things more clearly and make sense of and accept your current situation, and to identify areas and opportunities for change. During the sessions I will not ‘advise’ you or tell you what to do, I will simply help you to explore options for change and improvement. I will hope to help you to work through emotional difficulties, deal with painful feelings, and help to move you towards a more positive and fulfilling future.

Counselling is not about making people ‘happy’ or making life perfect- it is about helping you to become better equipped to deal with your future, through the expression and release of negative feelings, and the exploration of your options. Throughout the process you will have my complete support, and the sessions will be confidential. I work from an Integrative perspective, drawing from various theoretical framework, adapting the appropriate tools to the appropriate clients/stages of therapy. I always work to the core principles of providing an empathic, non-judgmental environment and value each client regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, beliefs, gender, past behaviours and attitudes.

I offer Counselling and Psychotherapy for a wide range of issues (please contact me for further details), with the aim of supporting you through difficult emotions or events, or for personal growth and development. Treatments usually last at least 6 sessions although this will be discussed during your free consultation, and as the therapy progresses.
