Key Focus Areas
Therapy is a very personal experience, and my services are tailored to meet your needs. Together we will be able to find strategies to enable you to cope better and move forward. I can help you with low mood, depression, stress, anxiety, worry / fearful thinking, self-harm, confidence / self-esteem feelings of inadequacy, suicidal thoughts, domestic/sexual abuse, shame, self-criticism, feeling lost, putting others first / people pleasing and loss / bereavement.
Therapeutic approach
With a strong person-centred influence, I take a psychodynamic and integrative approach to understanding your life experiences. The ways we learn to cope—our defences—often stem from self-protection. While they may have once served us, they can now stand in the way of living fully. With curiosity and compassion, we will explore where these patterns come from, how early experiences have shaped you, and how they may be contributing to feelings of unhappiness, confusion, or being lost—leading you to seek therapy.
Life can feel overwhelming, and you may find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, experiences of domestic or sexual abuse, self-harming behaviours, or even suicidal thoughts. But you don’t have to face these challenges alone. My counselling approach is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring the support you receive is personal, effective, and meaningful.
In a safe and supportive space, we will explore the difficulties you are facing and uncover strategies to help you manage life’s challenges. Our work will focus on processing emotions, building resilience, and empowering you to move forward with confidence, clarity, and hope.
