My approach is collaborative.
Together, we can explore the emotions, beliefs and patterns that have shaped your life. We may simply talk, or if the work calls for it, I may offer somatic or creative ways of getting in touch with what needs to be heard.
I’m never going to push you somewhere you don’t want to go. I believe each of us has our own timeline and I will honour yours.
You can expect honesty and humour.
I believe therapy can be both serious and light-hearted. I'll be honest with you, ask questions that might challenge you, and sometimes offer a different perspective. Being human can be difficult, messy and, at times, quite funny.
You will be supported to grow.
We can look at the experiences that have shaped you while also making space for who you're becoming. Therapy isn't only about understanding the past. It's also about discovering how you want to live now.
What to expect when working with me
Who I Work With
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and the feeling that something in their lives needs to change.
I have a particular interest in working with women in midlife, when familiar roles and expectations can begin to shift, bringing questions about identity, purpose and what we want for ourselves.
Some clients come to counselling because they're struggling with something specific. Others arrive with a less clearly defined sense of dissatisfaction, feeling stuck in familiar patterns or wondering why they keep making the same choices.
You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from counselling. Sometimes curiosity about yourself, and a desire to understand your life more deeply, is reason enough.
