My approach

Why Therapy?
​
Sometimes in life we all may find ourselves needing help or someone to talk to. It could be that you're struggling with something from your past; are you finding it hard to cope with the day-to-day, or uncertain about the future? Whatever it is, having someone to talk to who is separate from your friends and/or family can be just what is needed. This is where therapy can help.
​​
How I work...​
​
As your therapist, my role is not to provide you with the answers, but instead to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to talk and feel supported, enabling you to face challenges and feel a greater sense of well being, purpose and value.
As an Integrative Therapist I have trained in a variety of modalities and so I can adapt and blend these modalities to suit individual clients and situations.
​
I like to work creatively and will offer clients the opportunity to work in this way. If this is something that interests you we may work with art, music, buttons and/or guided meditation. This is always offered but entirely the clients choice.
​
What can I help with?
​
Stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, OCD, PTSD, work related issues, identity, grief, self esteem, women’s issues, autism, EUPD, relationships and more. ​
​
Please get in touch to discuss your counselling needs or if you have nay questions.
