I support you discovering transformational inner resources and insights. Drawing on 20+ years of expertise in the integration of Mindfulness and Self-Compassion in Therapy (SCIP), Buddhist psychology and the Person-Centred Approach, whatever distress or struggle brings you to seek counselling I offer a space for reflection and sharing with the intention that you will feel safe, understood and experience meaningful change.  I believe that the relationship we have with ourselves is key to more freedom and ease whatever circumstances we face and this underpins my approach.

Perhaps a particular event, experience or relationship, whether recent or in childhood, has left you feeling wounded, overwhelmed and unable to live with the sense of freedom and open heartedness that you long for. You may feel an underlying sense of never belonging, of shame and unworthiness. You recognise it’s time that you gave yourself the chance to try for a more satisfying and fulfilled life. Perhaps simply you need to talk through your concerns confidentially with someone who isn’t a friend or family member. Whatever you are bringing you need to feel safe, understood and experience meaningful change.

Therapy is all about building a safe and trustworthy relationship, which takes time, but let's start with meeting for a free 20 min discovery call to find out if I'm a good fit for you. I work creatively and collaboratively, it isn't one size fits all. I want to hear what you're searching for and I can tell more about how my approach might support you.

The first session is a chance to begin to share your concern and your biographical history - I will ask for an overview of your family tree and am curious about any previous experience of therapy. I want to hear what you're searching for and will share more about how my approach might support you. I work creatively and collaboratively, it isn't one size fits all. Most importantly we are getting to know each other and this takes time. I recommend a minimum of 6 sessions to start with.
