I am a Humanistic counsellor with a Person Centred base. This means that , when appropriate, I can offer elements from a humanistic or creative perspective if we felt it benefited your therapy.

Person Centred Therapy enables you to explore what is right for you and by being open, honest and willing to look at what things are causing you difficulties, together we can understand your life and experiences.  This involves me creating a safe, confidential and trusting relationship where you will be supported, listened to and emotionally held to explore other ways of resolving difficulties.

Why do we need Counselling?
Throughout life we can feel at times our life is challenging, making us feel powerless, overwhelmed, confused and alone.  Sometimes we have no support networks or find it difficult to trust someone in our life with our thoughts and feelings.  Very often, talking to someone who isn’t emotionally involved about difficulties we are experiencing can help us understand our innermost feelings and give clarity on where we currently find ourselves.  I understand the decision to begin counselling can feel very daunting and cause uncertainty in what to expect, I am here to be alongside you at your own pace in a safe and confidential space through being accepting, genuine and respectful.

How can I help you?
Engaging in counselling is a personal journey. 
I understand that everyone is unique and will, therefore, have their own personal difficulties
and goals.  
I will give you space and time to encourage you to explore your own difficulties by working together to help gain insight of self and what life means for you.  This can lead to having a greater sense of awareness, improved coping strategies, self-esteem and improve health and wellbeing.
