Counselling
Counselling is a talking therapy where a trained therapist listens and helps you explore ways to manage life’s challenges. It provides a dedicated space where you can reflect on your experiences, gain perspective, and work through difficulties at your own pace.
Each appointment will offer a time to be fully heard and understood. You’ll be supported to notice patterns, thoughts, and feelings that might otherwise go unrecognised, and to process your emotions with understanding.
How I work
I am an integrative counsellor, combining person-centred and psychodynamic approaches to suit your individual needs. In practice, this means I listen carefully to what matters to you and help you understand what might be getting in the way of change. This can involve exploring patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, including how your past might be influencing your present, so we can work together to make positive changes.
I provide a calm and focused environment where you can explore the areas of your life you wish to focus on. My aim is to help you feel comfortable discussing sensitive and difficult issues, supporting you to work through challenges and move towards a more fulfilling life.
I see clients both face to face at my Clifton office and online nationwide. Some people prefer the connection of meeting in person, while others value the flexibility of working from home. We can also discuss a hybrid arrangement if that feels right for you.
