Hello, I wonder what brings you here.
Perhaps you have a clear idea of what you want to talk about but for many of us it's hard to pinpoint a place to start. However you arrive is fine by me.
The first session tends to be about us getting to know each other and seeing if I am the right fit for you. I know that starting counselling might feel like breathing out for the first time or it might feel pretty terrifying. Please have a look around and if anything on here connects with you or you want more information then I look forward to hearing from you and seeing where we go from there.

About me
Whilst studying Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy (a combination of therapeutic theories) I felt particularly attracted to the Person Centred Approach, which has a particularly high regard for human freedom and trust in our capacity for healing and growth. This means I am especially committed to supporting you to find your unique way rather than telling you what to do.
Areas I have particular empathy with are: relationship difficulties; religious or spiritual trauma and/or abuse; faith shift or deconstruction; struggles with creativity, meaning and purpose; short term psychosis and manic episodes.
Prior to becoming a therapist my work has included, amongst other things, being a play worker, a postman, an adult support assistant, and working in a cafe. Since becoming a therapist I have worked with many different people in my private practice and for a charity supporting people who have suffered sexual abuse. Also, I have experienced the difference counselling can make in my own life!
