In our lives at different times and within varied contexts we all experience and find ourselves in situations where our day to day strategies and support networks no longer help us to cope with the distress that we are experiencing. It is on these occasions that it might be useful to have a safe space to think and reflect alongside a supportive and experienced professional.
As a Chartered Counselling Psychologist I am experienced in facilitating individual’s journey towards empowerment where they draw on their own internal resources to cope and manage life’s difficult experiences. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental empathic environment for us to work together to explore and make sense of your difficulties and create a tool box of skills to help you to move to a less distressing place where you can begin to life to its fullest.
This at times might involve understanding significant life experiences, exploring how our past experiences and relationships impact our current relationships, ways of thinking or learning and developing skills, strategies and techniques to help you cope and manage your life. Trained in more than one therapeutic approach, I have the skills and the competence to tailor our sessions to meet your personal needs depending on the concerns you bring and the goals you wish to achieve within the therapeutic space and relationship.Areas of Counselling I deal with
