Sometimes life can be difficult or challenging. Maybe you are struggling with feelings such as sadness, anxiety, anger, depression, stress, worry, guilt, or shame? Perhaps something has particularly knocked you sideways, your usual means to cope with life’s challenges no longer suffice or not the solution? Or do you find yourself feeling lost or empty, or caught up in a cycle of thinking or behaving that is affecting your emotional well being or making life, work or relationships difficult? Have you and your partner got into stuck ways of relating? Is this leaving you feeling hurt, sad or lonely? Are you hurting the ones you love?
I offer to meet you without judgement and provide a safe, confidential and understanding space with the opportunity to explore thoughts, feelings and experience of life, past or present. Supporting you and keeping an open mind to your particular experience and what is the best way forward for you, I use an Integrative Approach, fitting the therapy to you.
I bring warmth, empathy, challenge and a straightforward passion to my work. With a new perspective and greater awareness gained through therapy you can experience improved mental and emotional health, and improved relationships. Please don't hesitate to call, text or email for an informal conversation or to make an initial appointment.
