Counselling is a confidential process where two people meet at an agreed time to discuss the client’s ‘world’.  There are times in all of our lives when we need extra support or we feel things are overwhelming but alas we don’t know where to turn or attempt to soldier on. I hope to offer a space to make sense of your experience.  I believe counselling should be an empowering experience although make no mistake it can be bumpy, difficult and at times painful. If I have any objective it’s to help you live your most authentic life and support you to discover your most authentic self.

You might have a specific issue that’s bringing you to counselling:

Loss or Bereavement, Grief, Trauma, Depression and Anxiety. Shame.
You might have low confidence or self-esteem.
You might be struggling with unmanageable feelings including anger or rage.
Perhaps you have health issues or a clinical diagnosis. You might have body issues, dysmorphia.
There might be some things you need to work out regarding your identity, sexuality or gender.
You might have relationship difficulties.
Or the issues might be much broader, for example feeling like you’re drifting with no focus,
making bad decisions or unable to make a decision. Are you just dissatisfied with life?

Whatever the reason, a lot of people are reluctant to ask for help. I realise it takes courage to access counselling, and in my experience many people are surprised at how rewarding and beneficial it can be.  Our first meeting is important and I appreciate you might be nervous. Your fear might be about opening up or putting yourself under the microscope. I attempt to make my space as safe as I humanly can.

At this first meeting we can discuss ongoing work, ‘the contract’ and any concerns that you have.
