About counselling

People come to counselling for many reasons, and the most powerful part of that experience is often the feeling of being listened to and accepted. It is a chance for you to explore and process your thoughts and feelings without judgement.

​

Perhaps you are feeling low, anxious, or unsure about how you are going to cope with life's changes. Maybe you have experienced a loss and are struggling. You may have been experiencing difficulties in your relationships. You may have had traumatic experiences in earlier life which are still affecting you now. You might have tried counselling previously, and are now ready to explore things in more depth.

​

I can offer you a safe space to be heard, at a pace that is right for you, supporting you to develop your understanding of yourself. This includes how the past is impacting on your life in the present. Greater self understanding can help you to feel more confident, self-compassionate, and in control of your future. Our work together may be either short-term (6-8 sessions) or longer-term, depending on your needs and wishes.

​

I use a psychodynamic approach in my counselling practice. That means we will work together to discover how past experiences for example from childhood or previous relationships might be impacting on your life in the here and now.
