What to Expect
​
If you choose to work with me, I will help you explore, safely and in confidence, the challenges that you are facing and the emotions you are struggling with. I understand that this may sound daunting but I will only focus on what you want to examine at the pace and depth at which you are comfortable.
​
As an integrative counsellor, I will draw on my person-centred training as well as concepts from other types of therapy including elements of psychodynamic therapy, transactional analysis and some creative methods.
It is important to stress that we will be finding your way forward, not what I think or what other people close to you think. I believe that every person is the ‘expert’ on themselves and, given the right conditions, can find their way towards whatever is right for them. My role is to provide those conditions.
Counselling can be transformative.
​
Some discover what lies behind their struggles which enables them to move forward with awareness and empowerment.
Some find strength to help them adjust to a new normality.
Others find they are able to connect and trust themselves.
Some, who haven't felt able to share with anyone else, find relief and peace.
​
Everyone is unique so what they need and gain from counselling will be different but I believe that everyone, even in their darkest moments, has the capacity to heal and move forward with positivity.
