I'm here to offer a confidential space where you can be seen, heard and understood. I can help you to be able to process your varying emotions, enabling you to better understand yourself and those difficult feelings. This will aid you to be able develop the skills to heal and grow. I want to help guide you to finding solutions that will work for you.

With regards to attachment, we can look at your relationships with your partner, friends or parents and explore with kindness about what they may lack and I will help you work towards gaining earned security with yourself.

I have a private and calm therapy room where you can be yourself, with no façade or brave face and I will accept for who you are. You can share any aspect of your life, be heard, and feel validated in a non-judgemental, safe and confidential space. 

In our first session you can expect a warm welcome and a comfy seat with cushions and a fluffy blanket. I will introduce myself and explain the contract to you. I will ask you some brief assessment questions and then you will then have a chance to share what may be going on in your life right now and I will listen attentively. There is no right way to share how you are feeling, you can go as slow or as fast as you like, as, I will clarify anything I don't understand.
