About me and my therapy practice
Clients come to counselling for many different reasons. For example a couple might be experiencing an impasse in their relationship, a parent might have concerns about their teenager's anxiety or depression or anger and they are at a loss as to what to do next. A young adult may be finding work stressful or they believe their ADHD is an obstacle to progress, to name a very few.
Often we notice something is amiss because we feel anxious or depressed or lonely and this can be brought to our attention through our relationships at home or at work or in our social lives.
I believe we are continuously shaped by our environment and experiences. If we understand of the roots of our issues and develop understanding of new or alternative ways of being, we can choose to effect change at any time in our lives.
Through counselling we can learn how to recognise healthy and unhealthy relationships, understand our role in creating both types and how we can connect in ways that increase our chances and the chances of those we share our lives with, to feel better.
Practice description
I work with couples, families (by working with parents) and individuals who experience relationship struggles in partner, family, social, school or work situations.
Together we can explore the sources of negative feelings, (for example, early attachment, adverse childhood experiences, mental health) how you can change, take agency in relationship with others, change negative patterns and make choices about how to feel better moving forward.
I draw on relational, systemic and humanistic therapeutic models including Attachment Theory, as well as personal and professional experience to create a tailor made thereapeutic experience for each client.
Appointments are short or long term, weekly, fortnightly, monthly and ad hoc according to need.
