Counselling & Psychotherapy

I specialise in working with trauma and loss.
Both can have a huge impact on our lives and be life changing in a negative way.
Counselling can help you to process what you have experienced and the impact it has had on your life - your thoughts, feelings and actions.
Counselling can help you underdstand this better. This is the first step to taking back control of your life.
By doing this, you then move towards accepting what you cannot change.
Regardless of when the event happened (recently to decades ago) you can overcome it and take back control of your life.

I am a Person-Centred Counsellor which means I want to understand things from my client's perspective rather than what I think or a textbook states.
This also helps my client to get a better understanding of their situation and together we work together to help the client understand their world and start to accept what has happened, or adjust to the changes that have occurred in their life. Through this the client can get a better understanding of where they would like to be and they can start working towards this.

I provide a confidential, non-judgemental space for my clients to open up at a pace that feels safe for them and that they feel comfortable with.

The client is in charge of which direction they would like their session to go and I follow their lead, this way I know they are ready to work on whatever topic they choose and they are not working on something that feels uncomfortable or unsafe for them at that time.
