People come to counselling for many reasons. You may be experiencing stress, depression, or anxiety or may be unhappy with the relationships in your life. You may be dealing with loss or be frustrated with repeated patterns of behaviour that are not working for you. You may want to make sense of your past.

Counselling is an opportunity for you to explore what is happening or what has happened in your life in a way that is confidential and accepting. The outcome of counselling might be a deeper understanding of yourself or you might discover the tools you need to make changes in your life.

My approach to counselling is called the Person-Centred Approach, which was developed by American psychologist Carl Rogers in the 1940s.

This means that my way of working is to start out by really trying to understand what life is like for you and how you experience the difficulties you are having. I do this by listening carefully to what is coming up for you in our conversations. From there, I will support you to think about any changes you want to make.
