What Can I Offer
As with many in the world of counselling, my interest emerged from needing to deal with my problems. I would love to journey alongside you, to try to understand your world, to help you identify what holds you back, and to discover ways of being that are more in tune with what you need.
I aim to offer you a supportive, open, and trusting therapeutic relationship and a safe space to share, in confidence, difficulties in your personal life. My desire for you is that this will enable you to be honest about your issues and help you explore and unlock feelings which may have been hidden for years, without fear of judgement or reproach. I will take time to listen to you and to understand your experiences. Painful situations in the present often have their roots in the past. I hope to assist you to uncover hidden links, which in turn may allow greater freedom of thought and action.
Lived Experience
My passion has always been to give some of the tools I’ve learnt during my time as a clinician and self-explorer to other people to help them on their path. My own journey of recovery from an eating disorder, addiction and childhood trauma was arduous, character-building and enlightening in equal measure, but gave me along with professional training a fair bit of knowledge and depth of experience to impart.
Having been there myself, my joy is in helping others to release their “old stuff” and dissolve the blocks and limiting beliefs, often taken on during their childhood or teenage years which are holding them back.
At various points in our lives, I’ve learnt that most of us need help in dealing with setbacks, overcoming limitations, and surmounting challenges. I’ve been lucky to assist many people break through their own internal saboteurs and unhelpful behaviours. I know I can give you a powerful map to support you in letting go of things that are barriers to progress, growth, contentment and freedom so I encourage you to start your journey.
