Counselling / Therapy

The aim of counselling is to help you find the deeper understanding of yourself and your circumstances that can reveal the solutions to your issues that are appropriate to you. The solutions often exist within you but are difficult for you to 'see' without help.

This work involves exploring your thoughts and emotions in a safe environment with your therapist at hand. It means usually you are the one who does most of the talking, yet as your therapist you will find me an attentive and empathic listener, never too distant to intervene when appropriate. 

Counselling can help...

• to manage emotional pain, adversity and stress more effectively
• to have greater control over intense emotional states
• to establish positive and fulfilling relationships
• to intergrate different parts of the self that one may experience to be in conflict
• to increase practical and emotional resources

In working with you I will respect your gender, race, culture, class, religion, age, sexuality, or disability. It is not my role to provide solutions for you, but to help you achieve your own solutions through exploration, understanding and emotional support.
