You might experience feelings of confusion and dissatisfaction; you may feel trapped, disoriented, or uncertain about your next steps. Engaging in counselling could assist you, as it will enable you to understand your circumstances and discover hope beyond your present situation. It will empower you to make informed decisions and choices.

Counselling is an activity that you opt to participate in; thus, you should not feel compelled or pressured to attend.

If you have been contemplating therapy, I provide a genuinely authentic environment that is devoid of criticism or judgment. It is a straightforward, comfortable setting that will assist you in examining any challenges you may be encountering. Together, we can embark on a journey to uncover greater awareness regarding how you are navigating your life, as well as the ways in which your past may be influencing your present; and through addressing these matters, how you aspire to cultivate a sense of empowerment and ongoing well-being.

I am of the opinion that transformation significantly influences how we conduct our lives, and that being acknowledged for our true selves is deeply restorative. This process will aid in developing an understanding of our identity and foster resilience against the challenges that life inevitably presents.

I acknowledge that every individual is unique, thus I employ an integrative approach in my work, utilising theories and concepts from various therapeutic models. Each person necessitates distinct support, so I consistently tailor my methods to be specific to you and the challenges you are facing.

I hold membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy MBACP Accreditation. I adhere to their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Profession.

I provide a complimentary telephone consultation. This typically allows both of us to learn a bit more about each other prior to making any commitments to paid sessions.

Should you determine that I am the right individual for you to collaborate with, we will establish a consistent weekly schedule that accommodates us both.

In the initial session, I aim to understand your objectives and expectations regarding therapy. I will frequently assess with you how you perceive the progress of the therapy.

If you want to find out more about yourself and engage with your true self. If you are ready to take this journey, then now is the time to engage with counselling. I can help you take your first steps in an atmosphere of acceptance.

You may feel as if you are grappling with anxiety and dissatisfaction; feel stuck, lost or unsure what to do. Counselling could help you as it will allow you make sense of what is happening and find hope beyond your current situation. It will give you permission to make effective decisions and choices.

Counselling is an activity in which you choose to engage; therefore, you should not feel forced or pressurised into attending.

If you have been considering therapy, I offer a person authentic environment which is free from criticism or judgement. It's a candid, relaxed atmosphere and will support you to explore any issues you are facing. We can journey unearthing more awareness about how you are leading your life, and in what way the impact your past may be having on your present; and through those concerns how you wish to establish a sense of empowerment and progressive well-being.
