Counselling

A trusting therapeutic relationship with clients provides a private, confidential and safe place to begin working through your issues.

Individual

As a counsellor, I can offer you time, space and the opportunity to tell your story at your pace, in a confidential and private setting where you will be respected without judgement. My person-centred approach to counselling allows you to choose where to start and together we can decide if you need short or long-term counselling. Some people feel anxious about starting and wonder what actually happens in the counselling room. People come to counselling for many reasons:

Low self-esteem or negative self-image
Relationship issues
Work related stress
Work life balance
Family issues
Abuse or neglect either in the past or the present
Loss of a loved one
Loss or a role or responsibility
Adoption related issues
Health related issues
Identity
Infertility
Miscarriage
Menopause related issues
And many more!

Sometimes you might need to talk about a combination of issues affecting you from the past or things you are worrying about for your future. Coming into the counselling room, either face to face or virtually allows you to open up and explore further your issues and together we can endeavour to find a way forward.

Please contact me you have any questions and I will be happy to answer these.

Couples

Many couples struggle with relationships and communication is often an issue. This can lead to relationship breakdown and often heartache for both sides. Having the courage to seek help when you start to notice things going wrong is better than waiting until the situation is intolerable for one or both parties.

Counselling allows you both to tell your story and a place where you can listen to each other without being judged or told what to do. Sometimes this can be a combination of couple and individual sessions, whatever is best for you.

As a counsellor, my role is to enable you to find a way forward and to facilitate your sessions as you work things out together.

“When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified; or when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity—then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship offered by an empathic person… provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another.”
