About me and my therapy practice
Hi I'm an integrative counsellor, specialising working with a range of issues including high functioning anxiety, OCD, emotional distress, work issues, perfectionism, all- or nothing thinking, confidence & self-esteem, relationship issues, people pleasing those who struggle maintain healthy boundaries, The focus, for me, is on the client’s experience of their life and potentially working through the areas that may feel stuck, due to impact of strong inner critic or guilt as a result of difficult issues maybe from childhood, or negative experience what prevent you to live a life that is more meaningful for you.
Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, everyone has feelings of anxiety at some point in their life because it's a natural human response when we feel that we are under threat. It can be experienced through our thoughts, feelings and physical sensations. it's affect our lives on a daily basis. I firmly believe that every person is beautifully unique, special and has inner potential to reach high goal and be whatever they feel right, at their own pace. I am non-judgemental and respectful, taking great care by creating a space that you feel comfortable to express yourself, explore your thoughts and feelings of what is impacting your life – to see issues through your eyes.
"You don't have to be able to see the whole staircase, just take the first step" - Martin Luther King Jr.
