How I can help

Counselling provides a safe and confidential space for you to talk to a skilled professional about your worries and concerns. My role is to help you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and to develop a better understanding of yourself and others. Counselling can provide an opportunity to look at things through a different lens, learn healthier coping skills and build resilience. Deciding on a counsellor that is right for you is really important. I offer a free initial 15-20 minute phone consultation to discuss how I work, what you may like to talk about and to see how we can best work together. We can arrange to meet for regular sessions at a mutually convenient time. We can work together on an open-ended basis or for a specific time-limited number of sessions. My goal is to understand clients through a holistic, cultural and non pathologising perspective. There is no right or wrong way of thinking. We all develop coping mechanisms or survival strategies that may have served us in the past but may have kept stuck or trapped.
