Integrative psychotherapistAbout Me
As an experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist I bring warmth and empathy, humour and challenge. Working with me is a deepening journey into soul; a discovery of your own knowing and wisdom. We go at your pace, working towards a fuller understanding of how you are in the world, through a renewed connection to self.
The foundation of my therapeutic work is based on a relationship of compassion, trust and respect.
I work looking for your little voice, gut instinct, intuition, that has so long been overlaid or silenced by guilt, shame, anger, anxiety and other things which might include people pleasing (even when you don't want to).
Understanding yourself well can open up possibilities of choice, of finally doing things differently, of feeling free enough to make decisions based on your own feelings and experience. Bringing more of your authentic self to relationships opens you unto ones that are deeper and more fulfilling.
Alongside being attentive to your personal story, we will work soulfully and attend to things that don't necessarily make sense but more than likely have something to say. The invitation here is to work with images, dreams, hunches. the unconscious expresses itself in different and less obvious ways and can offer up a richer and knowing part of who you are, and the potential within you.
I work relationally. This is working within the professional boundaries looking at how we impact each other. This awareness can help you gain insight into how you are in the world, how you are impacted by others and how you view the world and your relationships.
