About Counselling & Therapy
Life’s Challenges
Life can be full of twists and turns that may have left you feeling overwhelmed, struggling to cope, or dissatisfied with your current circumstances. These challenges can arise from past or present experiences or when life takes a different course than envisioned.
If you find yourself longing for change and unsure about how to move forward, therapy could be a valuable resource. Sometimes additional support and guidance are what is needed to become unstuck, overcome obstacles and find greater contentment.
While reaching out to a counsellor might feel like a big step, I'm committed to supporting you from your very first contact.
How I work
As a Humanistic Counsellor & Therapist, I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space that gives you the opportunity to:
Share challenging thoughts and emotions with ease.
Feel heard and understood.
Feel confident that you will be met with acceptance.
These elements are the foundation for building a strong therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe as we work together on:
Making sense of your experiences.
Gaining new perspectives.
Discovering your inner resources.
Developing coping strategies.
Increasing your resilience and overall well-being.
I use an integrative approach, tailoring sessions to best suit your needs. This might include giving you space to talk through your issues, offering coping strategies or taking a more creative approach.
I work with a variety of issues, such as persistent worries, overwhelming stress, feeling sad or numb, and student-specific challenges.
Counselling could also be a useful resource if you’re not facing specific challenges but want to work on personal growth to gain a clearer sense of what you want in your life and explore ways to get more from it.
If you're unsure whether I work with the specific issue you need help with, you can find more details on the Home page or by contacting me.
