About me and my therapy practice
What if you told yourself a different story?
I'm here first and foremost to listen to what story you have told yourself ...then can we start to work together to unravel what is causing you distress.
Memories are often unreliable narrators but they can help us to ascertain how we have programmed ourselves and we can then seek to work out what course of action might be best to shift your thinking.
Therapy can develop your feeling skills; it can help you to put invisible things into words, to go deep and face things and draw out what T.S. Eliot called our, “undisciplined squads of emotion."
I advocate a holistic approach to achieving positive changes and better mental wellbeing.
Practice description
People enter therapy for many reasons. Sometimes it's very specific but many times it’s hazy and unclear what we actually want. We can just get stuck in the reeds of daily life. Is therapy the answer? I think so. My only guarantee is a commitment to get down and do the work with you in your search for a better life.
I'm not a traditional counsellor in many respects. I like to be honest with my observations but primarily I am here to listen and help you find your own way.
‘Most learning is not the result of instruction. It is rather the result of unhampered participation in a meaningful setting.’ Ivan Illich.
I am registered with and work under the ethical codes and practises of the counselling and psychotherapy profession.
My first session
The goal of therapy is to provide a space for reflection where it may have not previously existed. Here you can use this space to create opportunities to know yourself more fully, connect with others more deeply, and live life more harmoniously.
Psychotherapy is about slowing things down so you have time to recognise and understand patterns of behaviour that may have gone unnoticed, whether automatically and often unconsciously without awareness.
People often find themselves in distress because they cannot slow down enough to think clearly. In the therapeutic space, you can pause and reflect, identify new choices and find freedom from the same painful, self-defeating repetitive patterns. This freedom can often help you to see things differently and ultimately become a better version of yourself.
