I currently work online and have some space

Life can be very challenging at times and we may find ourselves not having the right tools, nor the support system around us to deal with those challenges.  We may feel depressed, disconnected, have a difficult relationship with our bodies, with food.  We may lack self-esteem.  We may not be able to form or sustain relationships with others, have issues around intimacy or commitment.  We may carry an impinging sense of being different.  At times, we may just want to look deeper into our past and present so that we can move forward to a more fulfilling future and fulfilled, happier self.  I believe therapy provides a great space for either of those situations and many more as it  allows us to reflect, work things through, helps us be more self-aware which then enable us to move forward from the negative past and present experiences towards a better, more hopeful future

My approach is Psycho-dynamic however I borrow also from other approaches, especially CBT and Person Centred Therapy as I believe they all contibute in different ways.  I provide a safe environment based on compassionate and emphathetic understanding, where difficult feelings and thoughts can be expressed and worked through to move forward.   I have in depth experience of counselling and psychotherapy stretching over ten years, working in private capacity as well as within the framework of a charity.

Our first session will be mainly about exploring what brings you into therapy, what issues you maybe experiencing, what you maybe seeking to achieve from therapy.  You can also ask me questions relating to therapy.  You may want to tell me about your past and present circumstances, which will guide me into a better understanding of you as a person.
