I am a gentle and warm person-centred counsellor and hold a regular safe space for us to explore together whatever difficulties you are experiencing in your life at present. I have experience of working with adults to ease a range of mental health problems and explore and come to terms with challenging life stages and past experiences which may continue to cause distress.
I believe the therapeutic relationship between us is paramount to the success of our time together and is the key to better understanding yourself and who you are in relationships before exploring with support what changes you would like to make to improve your life experience. My journey with therapy has been life changing and ultimately I am driven by understanding your experience and puzzling out together your path to a more contented self.
In our work I draw on a range of complimentary concepts such as CBT, psychodynamic, existential, and we can explore these in different ways during a session, acknowledging that we each connect to ideas differently. Different ways of exploring include working with timelines, emotion wheel, emotional regulation, trauma informed approaches, CBT topics, working with parts of self, exploring meaning and purpose in life, shells and stones, art and therapy cards.
