Counselling and Psychotheraphy
It may be that you are feeling overwhelmed by a particular problem and cannot see a way out. You may be troubled by unpleasant feelings and perhaps question your ability to cope.
Something that happened in the past may be interfering in how you live your life now. There could be difficulties in relationships or an isolating sense of not fitting in.
My intention as a counsellor and psychotherapist is to listen empathically, to offer a non-judgemental attitude, to provide a safe place to talk about your concerns and to encourage new insights and perspectives that suit you.
My practice is influenced by many approaches to counselling. I can therefore draw upon a variety of established methods to help you as an individual.
I come from a strengths-based, creative, trauma-informed perspective which values people’s capacity to find incredibly adaptive ways to live their lives. I admire the people that I support and am rewarded by the connections that are established.
The principles of trauma-informed care and practice are the foundations of my work. Establishing safety, both internally and externally often takes time as does building trust in the therapeutic relationship. All our work is negotiated collaboratively, maximising people’s choices and focusing on self-understanding and empowerment.
