About me and my therapy practice
We all experience emotional and/or physical distress at various times of our lives. We are all individuals so how we would work together depends on what you want help with now.
I believe we all have the capacity to calm and comfort our selves and see our way in life but that this can get clouded over. My practice aims to enable a ‘reset’ to bring this innate capacity back online.
Respect, kindness and non-judgemental curiosity are core to my approach.
Practice description
Currently my practice is online.
I have worked with men and women who’ve experienced sexual trauma, bereavement and loss and cancer. Recently I have become interested in how we can change our experience of chronic pain.
In all the above I find using simple techniques to regulate our nervous systems work well alongside practice from IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy.
My first session
Before we decide to go ahead with counselling we would have a free consultation of up to 30 minutes online for both of us to get an idea of whether we want to work together.
This would not be a counselling session, more an exploration of what you want from counselling and whether that would work for us both, along with the practicalities.
