Person – centred philosophy prizes your unique experience of being you.
It is my goal to facilitate the right conditions for you to reconnect with your personal power, through being heard, feeling accepted and valued. As your counsellor: I am a guest in your world, remaining with you as you explore your thoughts, feelings, and your experience of life.
This might take the form of short-term counselling, to explore a current concern; or longer-term psychotherapy aiming to unravel past hurts that are impacting your life right now. Both approaches can open up a wealth of possibility for a future in which you feel like the real you – able to draw upon your inner strength and resources which make you an exceptional human being.
Connection through a therapeutic relationship is at the heart of effective therapy. It feels so important for us to be sure that we can work therapeutically together. For this reason, an initial enquiry is followed by 30 minutes free phone consultation to see if I am the right therapist for you.
I have worked with individuals experiencing:
Anxiety
Depression or low mood
Stress
Relationship difficulties
Self - harming
Suicidal Ideation
Isolation
Trauma
Distress
And various mental health diagnoses.
I work with Autistic clients in a 'neurodivergent - affirming' approach.
I also work as a Specialist Mentor with Autism Hampshire.
