I have 19 years experience of working as a therapist and helping people with a wide variety of concerns that arise from living in today's world.
I am interested in you and in offering you my sustained and genuine interest in the time we have together. To come alongside you as a real person and to create a space in which you can be free to be yourself.
I believe you are the expert in your unique life and perspective, and my aim is to facilitate you to use the therapy for what you need, whether that is for increased self-understanding, or to feel heard, supported and understood, or to explore a particular experience(s) and its impact, or any number of possibilities. This need may not be clear and part of an ongoing discussion and may change over the course of therapy.
I also offer supervision to students and qualified counsellors, a relationship where:
- you are free to explore your practice
- you can explore, and experience, your increasing awareness of yourself
- you experience my genuine regard and empathy toward you.
- you are encouraged to refer to an internal locus of evaluation
- you feel supported to engage with ethical tensions that arise in your work.
- I may share my own experience and learning as examples that you can make use of however you want
