What is counselling? This is what I imagine happens: We are going through life with a rucksack on our back. When things happen that make it difficult to live our lives, we put them into the Rucksack, e.g. unpleasant experiences or emotions. The load gets heavier and moving through life becomes harder until one day the next thing we put into the rucksack makes it so heavy that we can't carry on. Or perhaps it even pull us over and we lye on our back and can't get up.

Counselling with me gives you the opportunity to take things out of your rucksack, in a confidential, supportive space, where you are not judged for what you unpack. Together we can look at the stuff in your rucksack and perhaps work through the emotions and experiences, carefully and kind, and find better places to store them so that they don't burden your life.

Through the process you will be able to understand yourself better and find better ways to cope. 

The sessions with me are 50 minutes and usually weekly. I am guided by you, provide you with the supportive space where you can find out what you need. I can be your sounding board, will try to see the world through your eyes and be with you when things are challenging. 

Choosing a counsellor can be a daunting step and it is important to find one that you resonate with. Meet me and go with your “Gut Feeling”. 

I offer 30 min phone or video conversations free of charge or 30 min face to face for £20. 

You can ask any questions and explore how t feels being with me.
