How Can I Help You?

Grounding my work in the person-centred approach means I embrace the belief that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to deeply understand your thoughts, feelings, behaviour and experiences from your frame of reference - hearing your words and being curious about the emotions and meanings behind them.

 

Sessions will move fluidly with the direction being led by you. I often adapt the way I work to suit your needs as I do not believe in a 'one-size-fits-all' rigid way of working.

​

From our first meeting, I approach the work we do together with sensitivity, respect and genuine care. My intention is to help you feel heard, valued and entirely accepted for who you are. I will sit side by side with you in the uncomfortable, messy and often unseen or unknown parts of self, helping you to become more present and connected with your inner and outer world and what makes you, you.

 

It's common to feel some level of resistance or discomfort at the beginning of therapy, but I will be with you to help you through this. I will gently encourage you to explore any difficulties and deepen your awareness without pushing, respecting your pace, so you can begin to feel 'unstuck'. 

 

We will work together to create a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship. My hope is that you will begin to feel comfortable and confident to express yourself freely without fear of judgment, criticism or expectation.

 

Together, we can slowly explore, unravel and unpick the many parts of your path so far, empowering you to move forwards towards a life that feels more fulfilling and meaningful for you.​
