Do you feel like you're struggling to hold things together? Are you feeling unfulfilled, unsure or overwhelmed by life? Have you been through life changes or other painful experiences? Are you experiencing difficulties in your relationships?

Counselling is a 'talking therapy' which provides a confidential space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace with a non-judgemental professional.

Speaking to someone who is not involved in your everyday life and being seen, heard and accepted can be a powerful experience leading to profound and lasting positive change in your life.

It is a space for you to explore your problems - whatever they are.

Counselling can help with many different issues including:

• Stress

• Depression & low mood

• Feeling stuck

• Low self esteem

• Anxiety

• Relationship problems

• Loss

• Checking in on how you’re feeling

I am a humanistic, person centred counsellor . Counselling works, not by fixing people, but by supporting you through your own truths and aiding you to trust and understand yourself.

I believe that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you as you explore your issues and to help you identify the skills and tools you have to find your own way forward.

I can support you with new perspectives, resources and coping strategies, but most of all I will listen to what you need to share allowing you to feel heard.

I use integrative methods as appropriate, so there may be times when it feels useful to use things from other counselling methods.

We can work creatively, we can talk or we can be in silence - the space is yours for whatever you need.

Everybody faces challenges in their lives and we don't always have the resources to cope on our own. In these moments, counselling can help.

The essential qualities which I believe create a safe, supportive and challenging therapeutic relationship include:

• A profound acceptance of you.

• A desire to understand you and your experiences

• A commitment to being transparent, open and honest in our relationship

I understand that asking for help can be hard. I aim to provide a relationship that is healing, helpful and equips you with the tools, greater understanding and knowledge of yourself to live your life in the way that feels best for you.
