You might find yourself seeking therapy for a number of reasons. Perhaps ‘things just aren’t making sense anymore’ or maybe things you used to do before to make you feel better aren’t as effective, there could be some changes in your life or possibly you want to make changes.
It’s my innate belief that we ourselves know what is best for us, sometimes finding our inner voice isn’t that simple though, especially if we feel it’s lost or seemingly far beyond reach. It can be hard to open up and speak to someone about what’s going on, but whatever your reason for making this first step and seeking therapy, with me as your Counsellor I can offer you a safe space free of judgement in which we can explore what issues arise for you.
When working together, you are at the centre of this process and I am beside you, assisting in helping you develop the skills necessary to not only manage what arises within the therapeutic space together but for overall well-being in your life. My job isn’t to fix you (because you are not broken) or tell you what to do, I’m not here for that (nor will I ever know what is best for each individual being!) but I am here to help you uncover what affects your everyday thoughts for a deeper insight and understanding.
Listening is the foundation of my counselling approach and with me, your lived experiencing and autonomy will be respected and welcomed in the therapeutic relationship we will build.
I offer talking therapy from a Humanistic perspective and also sandplay therapy. Using the sand and figures within the sand tray is a powerful therapeutic approach to express not only understanding of self, but the world, emotions and life events – anything can show up within the sand tray for you and we can explore this together. Both my pluralistic and humanistic approach allows me to integrate varied therapeutic modalities when working which ensures therapy is tailored to suit each individual’s unique needs.
As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, you can be confident of my commitment to work ethically.
