Supporting Your Journey

BACP registered counsellor

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." Carl Jung

Counselling

Counselling is about change
Life is many things - it is sometimes truly incredible. However, there are times when it is challenging, uncomfortable, overwhelming and confusing. Sometimes we need help. It may be to get out of a rut, deal with a loss, manage something unexpected - or we simply don't know, yet feel, deep down, something needs to change.
​
As your counsellor, I can help you through any difficult times - helping you move forward with your life. I offer a safe, confidential space, where you will be listened to and accepted for who you are. I will not give you advice, judge you or tell you what to do. Instead, with genuine interest in your well-being, I will accept your feelings as valid and help you steer your way through them. I work with individuals and couples, using a variety of modalities and approaches.
​
I am aware that starting counselling and embarking on the journey of self-awareness can be daunting. Therefore, I offer a free 15 minute assessment session. You can then decide if this is the right path for you and whether I am the counsellor to help you.
