Counselling & Therapy
Are you navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, grief, or relationship difficulties? All of them?
You might be struggling with:
+ Anxiety and depression
+ Stress and burnout
+ Midlife transition, feeling stuck or life crises
+ Relationship and family difficulties
+ Low self-esteem and loss of confidence
+ Attachment patterns
+ The impact of difficult mother relationships
+ Grief, loss and bereavement
+ Ageing, elderhood, death and dying
+ Questions of meaning, purpose and identity
You deserve a place where you can talk openly about what is troubling you, without fear of judgement or pressure to be anything other than who you are.
Together, we can explore what has brought you here, what may be keeping you stuck, and what is seeking change in your life. Whether you're facing a crisis, navigating a significant transition, or simply longing for a deeper understanding of yourself, therapy can provide the time and space to reflect, heal and grow.
Your experiences matter.
Rather than asking "What's wrong with you?", therapy can help explore what has happened to you and how those experiences have shaped the person you are today.
Many of the ways you think, feel and respond to life's challenges have developed for important reasons. Together, we can begin to understand the patterns that may no longer be serving you, while recognising the strengths and resilience that have helped you survive difficult times.
You may notice that different parts of you want different things.
Perhaps one part longs for change while another feels anxious about letting go of what is familiar. One part may be highly self-critical, while another feels hurt, exhausted, or unseen. These inner tensions can affect your thoughts, emotions, relationships and physical wellbeing, leaving you feeling conflicted or disconnected from who you truly are. By listening with curiosity and compassion to these different aspects of yourself, it becomes possible to understand what each part needs and what it is trying to protect. As these parts become recognised and integrated, a greater sense of harmony, authenticity and choice can emerge.
“You do not have to be good. - You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. - You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. - Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. - Meanwhile the world goes on. - Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. - Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. - Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things”.
Wild Geese by Mary oliver
My Approach
I offer a warm, compassionate and reflective space where we can explore what has brought you here and what may be asking for attention in your life. My approach is deeply relational, mindful and kind. I seek to understand what happened to you, enabling you to speak uncensored in a safe space, a place of non-judgement.
I work with clients who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or struggling to cope. In our initial sessions, we will begin to uncover the repeating patterns and life experiences that have brought you to therapy at this time. This may involve exploring places within yourself and your history that feel difficult or uncomfortable, while listening for what is seeking healing, release and transformation.
I am interested in the many parts of you that shape your experience of the world. Sometimes these parts pull in different directions, creating tension within your body, thoughts and feelings, leaving you with a sense that something is not quite right or that you have lost touch with who you truly are. Together, we will listen carefully to what each part is trying to communicate, exploring what needs attention, compassion and healing. As these parts become understood and integrated, a greater sense of harmony, authenticity and choice can emerge. This is interactive work; many clients express surprise, relief and appreciation that I do not sit in silence while they do all the talking.
As a psychosynthesis practitioner, therapy is about easing suffering and helping you reconnect with your potential, your values, your creativity, and the deeper longings that give your life meaning.
My training and experience is integrative and transpersonal which means that I blend a range of methods and approaches. Everyone is different and I bespoke my approach to meet your unique needs. I work with the whole person, with your past, present and future, paying attention to trauma, shame, attachment and loss, the ‘presenting past’ and repeating patterns that oftentimes cause us pain and confusion.
Take the first step
Seeking support can feel daunting, but you do not have to navigate life's challenges on your own.
