Therapy is a process.
Trust the process.
My counselling and psychotherapy services
A collaborative partnership
I actively listen to your needs, providing a non judgemental space for you to explore your life experiences.
Beyond finding safety and acceptance, I focus on helping your resilience, enabling you to navigate life's challenges with greater strength, adaptability and authenticity.
Embracing change and growth
Like a diamond catching the light, therapy can help reveal your inner brilliance. Our work together can uncover your inner resources and make the changes you want to see.
As your therapist, I commit to understanding what it's like to walk in your shoes, offering support as we journey together towards your chosen outcome.
Building a secure foundation
Together, we will build a secure foundation for you to grow from, helping you navigate complicated relationships and life events.
Your secure and stronger foundation fosters a sense of empowerment and lasting change.
Dedicated support for your well-being
Areas of specialisation
Bereavement counselling
Experiencing bereavement can also have associated trauma and anxiety. Losing a loved one can be a shock, anticipated or defy the natural order of life.
How a person passed away can become complicated for us. Grief can be experienced as a living loss having a strong impact on the griever's life.
Our associated feelings can easily become overwhelming. We don't talk about grief enough.
Couples counselling
With couples counselling, we can work together to help you manage and strengthen your relationship.
You may need to rebuild trust, you may be recognising patterns of behaviour that are no longer helpful.
You may want to focus on changes or areas where you have both become stuck.
We can also work together to help manage a 'good enough' ending for you both.
A relational and gentle space
I create a gentle and compassionate environment where you can feel truly accepted. We can work creatively, using metaphors, drawing and toy figures to explore your experiences in a way that resonates with you.
