Hi, welcome to my page. I know that reading through all these introductions can be overwhelming. Looking at all the qualifications and types of therapy might mean nothing to you – which must feel frustrating! My advice to you would be to choose the person that you feel a connection to, whether that be because you look at their photo and think they look like someone you could trust or because when you read their profile, you feel a sense of warmth and optimism that you may have found someone to help you! I say all of this because the most important thing when having counselling in the hope of changing something in your life, feeling happier or more confident is the quality of your relationship with your counsellor. I believe in therapy which leaves you in the driving seat. I haven’t met you yet so how could I possibly be the expert on your life? My role will be to support you as you explore the difficulties you are having. Being heard and really understood can be truly life changing. If you’re not sure of the exact reason you are wanrting to come to therapy – that’s ok! We will figure it out together Whether you want to talk through your problems and tell your story or you prefer more structure support and guidance - I can offer both. I can support you with talking therapies or using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) where we can look at the relationship between thoughts, behaviours, feelings and any physical symptoms you may be experiencing. I will work with you to find more helpful thoughts and behaviours for you to practice. CBT is particularly useful if you are experiencing difficulties with depression, anxiety, phobias, panic disorder, anger stress and problems with self-esteem. it can give fast and effective results to get you feeling better in a short amount of time. I am truly passionate about helping people reach their full potential and feel self-confident. Whether you have struggled because of criticism or mistreatment by others or you just want to feel more able to resolve the problem that life throws at you, I would like to work with you.
