"We are not capable of healing in isolation. We need other people. We are hurt in relationship and we heal in relationship.鈥� Diane Poole Heller

Hi, my name is Gavin, and I recognise the courage it has taken you to take this step and begin searching for a counsellor. It would be my privilege to be with you on the next steps of your journey towards healing and change.

The most important factor in therapy is the relationship, and I offer a safe, warm, and welcoming space where you can feel comfortable to discuss whatever feels important for you.

Perhaps you feel flat, hopeless, or lost, or maybe you experience anxiety such as a persistent feeling of unease or distress. Do you struggle in your relationships, or experience loneliness? Maybe you feel like you're not good enough, feeling judged or under-valued.

Any of these feelings can result in us feeling overwhelmed, where even the smallest tasks or interactions can feel too much including reading all of this information!

My role is to listen and truly hear you, whilst promoting your safety and wellbeing. Feeling understood can be an important first step towards healing and I will support your capacity to slowly begin making the changes that you desire for yourself.

Therapy is like a journey through the rolling countryside. At times we鈥檙e going to be in the depths of the valley, but I believe it is better to be sat here with someone鈥檚 support than struggling all alone. There will be occasions where you determinedly climb the hill, and I鈥檒l encourage you however possible. At the crest of the hill we鈥檒l discuss which route you wish to take next, and that may mean more valleys. My goal is to leave you on a path where the ups and downs are no longer as overwhelming, and you can appreciate the journey.

I provide short and long term counselling, both in-person and online, to suit your requirements. I offer a free 30-minute consultation where we can find out if I am the right counsellor for you.

I offer a free, online, no obligation, 30 minute initial consultation. This is an opportunity for you to ask me questions about my service, and for me to understand what brings you to counselling and to discuss your hopes and expectations of our work together.

We can then mutually decide on the appropriate pathway forward.

If you are interested in beginning your journey of therapeutic change with me, It will be my privelege to welcome you.
