Psychotherapy & Counselling

Talking to a therapist for the first time can feel daunting. I know as I have been there. However, talking to someone who can hold space for you and who will listen to your story empathically and help you make sense of your experiences can be profoundly helpful.

​

When we allow ourselves to explore our thoughts, feelings, experiences and fears in a safe, supportive and confidential space that is free from judgment or consequence, we can start to make sense of them, lighten them and carry them in a way that impacts us less.

​

In doing so we can learn so much about ourselves and why we act and think as we do and we can achieve a deeper understanding and compassion for ourselves and for those around us. We can move towards feeling a greater sense of calm and freedom from whatever has previously been holding us back.

​

As an integrative therapist I draw on various therapeutic theories and techniques in order to meet you wherever you may be. Counselling is usually shorter term work which focuses on a specific area and how it affects us in the present. Psychotherapy works at a much deeper level over a longer period of time to explore unresolved issues and experiences from our past and help us learn how they impact our thoughts, feelings and behaviours in the present.
