Hilma Af Klint - 1915 - The Swan, No. 18
I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in North Oxford.
Life is a process of constant change. Flexing with it isn't always easy. And our experience of these challenges can bring up difficult feelings.Therapy is a safe space to reflect on your thoughts and emotions and to reveal the underlying factors that give them their power. We’ll work together in a confidential, open conversation where you can tell your story without fear of judgement.
I welcome even your most difficult feelings and memories.With compassion, tolerance and curiosity, we’ll examine the problems that haunt you, the behaviours that worry you. Where did they come from? And how can you live with them more effectively? This process brings you to healing and to greater peace.
I work in person in Oxford and online nationwide. I use a range of psychological theories, methods and tools to help my clients to address their issues.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their ethical framework. For more information about the way I work, click here.
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. Relationships, career problems and social anxiety 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 realise that you haven't felt truly happy for a long time.
A trusted relationship with 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.
Abstract art invites us to consider the act of looking rather than of seeing something concrete. The viewer must bring their own senses, experience and emotions to interpreting the work. Making sense of it can be challenging and deeply revealing; it is also unique to each individual.
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 and create our own meaning. The attempt to understand the art mirrors the psychotherapeutic process itself.
