When life feels difficult, you don't have to work through it alone.
Life can bring challenges at any stage. You may be experiencing anxiety, panic, depression, stress, or the effects of trauma. Or perhaps you are going through a significant change in your life: a relationship ending, a career change, starting university, moving home or country, experiencing a loss, becoming a new mum or a mum again, becoming an empty nester, approaching retirement, or simply wondering what you want from the next stage of your life.
Sometimes there is not a single obvious reason for how you feel. You may simply know that something is not right, that you are struggling to cope, or that you have become disconnected from yourself or from the life you want.
A space to understand what is happening.
Therapy gives you time and space to step back from everyday life and delve into what you are experiencing. Together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings, physical responses and behaviours, as well as past experiences that may still affect you today. Depending on your needs and goals, therapy may involve talking through your experiences, deepening your self-understanding, learning practical strategies, or gently challenging patterns of thinking and behaviour that may be contributing to your difficulties.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.
Therapy is a collaborative process.
I believe the relationship between client and therapist is at the heart of effective therapy.
We will work together at a pace that suits you.
My aim is not to tell you what to do, but to help you develop a clearer understanding of yourself and your experiences, so you can make choices that feel right for you.
A first conversation.
I offer all new clients a free 20-minute initial phone or Zoom consultation.
This gives us an opportunity to briefly discuss what has brought you to therapy and what you are looking for, and to consider whether we feel comfortable working together.
If we decide to proceed, our first session will give us more time to explore what you would like help with, what you hope to achieve, and some relevant background information about you.
You don't need to have everything worked out before you contact me.
If you feel ready to talk, Iād be happy to hear from you.
