I work in a person centred way which is a way of being with people that is based on trust in the individuals capacity for growth and development  and a respect for the potentiality of all clients. The person centred approach believes in the innate tendancy of humans to develop our full potential however recognises that our life experiences, events and relationships can block or distort and get in the way of this self actualisation.    

 

I have worked in various counselling services, offering support to individuals from diverse backgrounds, who have brought wide ranging issues to therapy.  These have included loss and grief, low confidence and self-esteem, relationship issues and endings, anxiety, stress, depression, suicidal thoughts, emotional and sexual abuse,  trauma and obsessive and compulsive behaviours and thoughts. This is not an exhaustive list, but examples of issues individuals may bring to therapy.

​

I work with individuals on a one to one basis from the age of 12. 

 

As a therapist I aim to work alongside you to provide a supportive environment where you can freely express emotions and feelings to help facilitate change.  Whilst I won’t direct you or give you advice about what to do I will offer support, guidance and safe structure with the goal of facilitating personal growth and development
