Psychotherapy and Counselling

Picture
It is my belief that we come into life with enormous resources of energy, curiosity and invention. As we journey through life, we grow and form ourselves. We do so in our relationships and in response to our experiences. Along the way, we learn how to be, and how not to be and in the process, we can become disconnected from our innermost self.

By the time we reach adulthood, we can experience ourselves as stuck - caught in ways of behaving that are no longer satisfying, that cause us distress or that are deeply destructive.

For many people this feeling of being stuck is what brings them to therapy. Asking for help can feel embarrassing. It can also be the first step on a different kind of journey.
​
I believe that all my clients have access to resources that will help them to grow and find new ways of being.  I see my role as adding my resources to those of my client and our work together as a collaboration. 
 I come to our working relationship with empathy, curiosity, patience and goodwill.
