The first step towards asking for support can be very daunting so I offer a free 20 minute chat to discuss your specific needs and to see how we get on. I aim to provide a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where we can work together to help you achieve what is that you are looking for. I provide a safe, collaborative space for us to explore your past and current difficulties so that we may piece together a different future.
About me and my practice
How Counselling Works
So whats in it for you? For starters you will have someone to talk to. You will gain direction and understanding which will lead to positive personal growth. You will get the support you may need to help you let go of fears and anxieties which are getting you down. The counselling space is safe and confidential and we foster curiosity about your processes and their consequences. I do not provide advice but I do help you find new perspectives on how to manage your life and seek out the possible answers you are looking for. We might look at practical strategies to help you cope with issues such as Excessive Worry, Anxiety and Stress or to gain an understanding of Depression and what drives this.
Every person is different and therefore requires a unique approach to resolving concerns. Counselling can help you find your footing and build you Self-Esteem to aid you in making better choices now and in the future. My job is teach you to become your own therapist and to help you realise your own power in finding the answers you need.
