Counselling is about helping you to weather the storm, and accept all the pieces that make us, us. Sometimes the 'shoulds' and 'woulds' we think of hold us captive and to act in the world in a certain way that might not actually be helping us. We start to feel that we don't fit in the world and it causes us tension, and worse. Sometimes the world falls apart, and we need help to find ourselves again in a new world. Sometimes we just need a space where our feelings are all welcomed and not judged. Sometimes we feel so flat and colourless that it can be hard to see a way out.
When you accept all of yourself and leave the 'shoulds' and 'woulds' at the door, you can make small changes that can help you live a life that's more you. You can start your own ripple effect.
Counselling with me is working with someone that won't judge, won't tell you what to think and encourages you to express all your feelings in safe and confidential space; supporting you to realise what's the right path for you. You'll explore what you need without the expectations of the world and be supported to make the little changes that make a big difference.
You're in the driving seat of what we explore and when.
It's an investment in yourself. Someone who is 100% there for you, strives to see the world through your eyes and doesn't judge.
I don’t work to the standard model of a set number of sessions, so I can work with you for as long as you need me to.
I am trained and qualified to work with people aged 18 years and over. If you need counselling for someone who is younger, I can't help directly but can put you in touch with counsellors trained in young people's therapy. You can also search the BACP Therapist Directory.
I specialise in outdoor therapy.
I offer Rewind Therapy to help traumatic memories to be less distressing
I work with adults in both short-term and long-term work. I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, which means I'll draw on different approaches to help you with what you need, when you need it, but you'll be in charge on what we work on and when, and I'll never push you 'too far.' While I have experience of helping people with a range of issues, my specialist areas include:
