Deciding to start therapy takes courage. Most people find themselves struggling at some point in their lives and it is healthy to recognise when things are not quite right. I can provide you a safe and non-judgemental place to explore your thoughts and feelings so you can understand your difficulties and move through them.

People seek therapy for various reasons.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious and depressed. These feelings can be difficult to manage and make sense of on your own. 

You may be experiencing difficulties within your relationships with your partner, children, family, friends or colleagues and need someone to talk things through.

If you find yourself repeating patterns of behaviour in your life or relationships and are not sure why, therapy may help you understand the reasons you are stuck in these patterns.

Maybe you are struggling to manage following a traumatic event in your life, such as a bereavement, loss of a relationship, an accident or illness. Sometimes, positive events, such as having a child, a new relationship or job can bring up unexpected challenging feelings.

Or perhaps, you can't quite put your finger on it, but you are feeling a deeper sense of sadness, lack of purpose or fulfilment in your life. 

The reasons that may lead you to consider therapy will be individual to you. 

I can offer you a space where you can come and talk, be listened to and feel accepted. As you expand your awareness of your thoughts and feelings, you may gain a better understanding of your situation and learn different ways of responding to yourself and others.

Therapy enables you to explore current or past issues at a pace that is comfortable for you. This process can be painful at times, but it can be enjoyable discovering more about who you are. Ultimately, therapy can be a rewarding experience.

My aim is to build a professional and confidential relationship with my clients so as you feel safe, validated and understood. For psychotherapy to be helpful, it is important that you feel comfortable with me. Therefore, I offer an initial session to enable you to decide if you would like to work with me. If you would like to arrange an initial session, please contact me.
