About Counselling.

​I believe that we have within us the abilities to live our lives well. That we become stuck or lost or scared or feel depressed or anxious is often the result of what we have lived through, and how these past-events impact on us now.

It can be confusing and frightening to find ourselves repeating behaviours or feeling stuck, not knowing which way to turn and feeling unable to make decisions. We can find ourselves blocked and unable to access those parts of us that can cope, perhaps through fear or not feeling able to trust.

​We may begin to see the world as a hostile place that is impossible to make sense of. Our lives can begin to seem pointless or we may find ourselves living a life that just doesn’t feel fulfilling.

My goal is to offer a place where you feel genuinely valued and supported. A relationship in which you can begin to rebuild some of the emotional absences you may have felt in your life. A space where you feel safe to explore the issues that are causing you distress and unlock your inner abilities to deal with life.

Within this relationship we can explore how you may have adapted to cope with what has happened to you, perhaps to survive loss or bereavement, trauma or abuse, feeling depression or anxiety or not feeling safe as a child.

​It can be enormously therapeutic to acknowledge how our lived experience, the good and the bad, shapes who we are and how we react to the world. Through learning to treat ourselves with compassion and kindness and accepting those aspects of ourselves that may be difficult to confront, we can become aware of how we may interrupt ourselves and find ways to do things differently.

Get In Touch.

I offer an initial 50 minute assessment session at £10 as an opportunity for you to explore what you wish to gain from counselling and so that you can get an experience of me and how we might work together.
