About me
Struggling with an aspect of your life can feel isolating. We all suffer from low-self esteem and anxiety at times and feel uncertain who to turn to. Life events such as death and birth are inevitable as are transitions like moving house or job. I am here so that you need not feel alone. Revealing your inner most thoughts, fears and feelings can be daunting and that is why I offer a calm, secure and non-judgemental space. As a Person Centred Therapist, I am led by you; I work at the pace you set, use challenge where appropriate and hold your personal growth and well-being at the heart of my practise. I work on the belief that you have the answers within yourself, I am here to help you uncover them. I take a very non-directive approach to my work, helping you safely explore the issues that you choose to bring to our sessions together. I will not make your decisions for you but I will help you to see what choices are in front of you. Realising that you do have a choice can be incredibly empowering. I use challenge when challenge can be yielded as a tool for growth. I believe that in a held environment you will be able to explore and move through your current difficulties. I know that this is possible as I have overcome issues that felt insurmountable by exploring them with a counsellor who was 'the right fit' for me. I am what is known in the counselling community as a 'wounded healer.'
