​​My Approach​

​

I believe that the relationship between you and I provides a foundation for all our work together. It is built on a sense of trust and my unconditional acceptance. You are then free to explore your thoughts and experiences without judgement, after all you know yourself better than anybody. Sometimes it's about discovering who we really are as opposed to the person we are expected to be?

​

You may be confronted with unexpected change in your life, experiencing challenges with personal or family relationships or simply have a sense that things are out of balance.

​

I will provide a safe and confidential space where you can talk freely without judgement.  I see my role as walking along side you, to be empathic but also sometimes curious as a way of helping you to untangle your thoughts and emotions and gain a clearer sense of why you feel the way you do.  

​

My approach is Integrative, so I draw on various theories and therapeutic models to help you explore the issues you bring to our sessions, both past and present and how they might be contributing to negative self-beliefs, intrusive thoughts or relational issues today.

​

I have a particular interest in Transactional Analysis (TA) as a means to increasing my clients self-awareness and understand patterns in their relationships. 

​

Above all I never underestimate the huge step many have taken to attend Counselling and so compassion and my down to earth approach helps to calm the nerves and relax the mind.​​​
