For me, therapy is a rare safe space in our harried world. Most of us carry armour of some kind, built up over time to protect us from whatever life throws our way. It often serves us well, but it can also grow heavy. In therapy, that armour can be set aside for a while, allowing the tender inner self to be seen without judgment, at a pace that feels safe, and with compassion at its heart.
My training is holistic, person-centred and psychodynamic. In practice, this means that I’m interested in you as a whole person, with a past that shapes how you experience the present, and with hopes and desires for the future.
I have experience supporting people affected by trauma, abuse, loss, depression, anxiety and life transitions of all kinds. I am a certified trainer in Collaborative Problem Solving with the Think:Kids® organisation, where I support parents whose children present with challenging behaviour. I also have a special interest in working with people who have been affected by addiction within the family.
I know from my own experience that stepping through the door is very often the most daunting part. If you’re wondering whether therapy might be right for you, I’d be glad to hear from you.
