HomeIndividual Counselling

Whether its short term solutions focused therapy to help address a particular issue that is holding you back currently, or whether its a deeper look at something from your past that is keeping you stuck in a pattern of behaviour that you want to break free from.

My aim will be to work together to create a space where you can explore the areas of your life that feels difficult. Looking at past experiences can help us to understand why we react as we do in the present-this is not about blaming people. Such understanding can provide a shift in perspective and allow us to make changes in our lives moving towards acceptance, of ourselves and our life experiences so far.

I have developed an interest in mindfulness and have seen how a mindful approach can change things. We will all face different issues in our lives, but whatever happens to us, heightening our awareness of the world around us can help us to let our thoughts and feelings be, rather than getting caught up in them. We can even start to identify our values, working out what kind of person we would like to be in the world, and how we might go about achieving this, initially by taking very small steps.

If you need support getting some clarity in your situation we’ll work out whether it would be most helpful to explore your circumstances in some depth, which would indicate open-ended counselling, or whether you have a more specific issue that can be worked on with an agreed number of sessions.

Call me for an initial chat and we can discuss your needs from there.
