Providing a safe space to talk...

I believe a person experiences each layer of their journey before they get to an accepted destination. To enable personal change and growth, I have chosen to base my counselling ethos on a Humanistic modality which includes the belief each of us has the ability, drive and autonomy within ourselves to resolve emotional issues, conflicts and life changing events. I also recognise we all need a bit of help and support in times of distress.  

One of the ways counselling can be very helpful, is to be able to talk to someone who we feel we can trust; who is separate from our situation and is prepared to listen and hear what we are trying to say. Particularly In a way that can allow us to feel at ease and safe in the process. This is with the therapeutic aim to bring into awareness presenting concerns and issues; which may require deeper exploration of experiences, thoughts and feelings.  

Drawing on my own life experiences, I offer counselling to individuals & couples, aged 18 years and over to cover varied issues.  Personal issues counselling can help with include: Couples counselling; loss and bereavement; trauma; domestic abuse and crisis; personal identity and self esteem; depression anxiety and stress; anger and confusion; relationship issues/couples; loneliness, addiction....and more.

Enabling personal change and growth requires a collaboration to build a safe and trusting counselling environment. I have chosen to base my counselling ethos on a Humanistic modality which includes the belief each of us has the ability, drive and autonomy within ourselves to resolve emotional issues, conflicts and life changing events.
