You may have a specific reason for considering counselling, or you may have a sense that things do not feel right without being able to articulate why.

My aim is to provide a safe, non-judgemental space with clients where difficult issues and problems can be explored, free from the demands and assumptions of the outside world.

I use a psychodynamic approach which means I help clients work through the underlying causes at the root of problems to enable them to gain more self-awareness and a different perspective on their lives. The interaction which unfolds between us, helps provide important insights into thoughts, behaviour and patterns of relating. I use my knowledge of these processes to work with my client and help guide them towards a more realistic and fulfilling way of relating to themselves and others.

A commitment to and trust in the process of this self discovery can be life changing. 

The way I work is to create a warm and compassionate space where you feel safe enough to openly share the things you may have difficulty expressing.  We will explore your inner world together and try to make sense of it by linking the present to experiences of the past. My role is not to impose my opinions on you but to enable you to clear some of the confusion and break down the barriers that are preventing you from feeling good in yourself.  

An initial consultation gives us a chance to meet and discuss what you want from the therapy. It gives us both the opportunity to see if we would be a good fit before we begin working together. I offer a free 5 minute phone call to help you decide if you would like to have an initial consultation with me.
