Life is a process of constant change, and I know through my own experience that flexing with it isn't always easy.
Together we will build a trusting relationship to explore your thoughts and emotions, bring them into the light and reveal the underlying factors that give them their power. We’ll work together in an open conversation to which you can bring your most difficult feelings and memories.
I offer a warm, welcoming and safe space in which you can be truly heard in a spirit of compassion, tolerance and curiosity. You can meet me in person or virtually.
I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
It's natural to have complex and conflicting emotions about our families, friends and colleagues. The way we respond to life's milestones such as marriage, parenthood, bereavement or divorce can feel overwhelming. Sometimes, we struggle.
Life brings stressful challenges that can keep us awake at night. Losing a friend, changing jobs (or being stuck in one), getting divorced and moving house are typical of pressures we might face.
Then there are slow realisations that cast a lengthening shadow. Family tensions become too difficult to bear. A relationship no longer works. You can't get motivated. You feel lonely, unloved, unhappy, alienated, worthless. Maybe you haven't felt truly happy for a long time.
Seeing a counsellor can bring new perspectives to your life, remove blockages and make the uncomfortable more comfortable. One of the most powerful benefits is simply understanding why you feel the way you do.
My website features abstract masterpieces from the 19th and 20th centuries. Why did I decide to use these as illustrations?
Abstract art invites us to consider the experience of seeing rather than the act of looking. Its meaning is unique and personal to the beholder, who must bring their own emotional landscape and lived experience to interpreting the work. Making sense of it can be challenging and deeply revealing.
The images here are intended to create space for self-reflection and curiosity. They have no simple explanation; instead, we must embrace the ambiguity and the unknowable, creating our own meaning. In this way, the attempt to understand the art mirrors the psychotherapeutic process itself.
