How I work
Together With & Alongside You
Adult Clients
You may feel anxious... worried... angry, like everything has got too much at the moment. Do you feel unheard and ignored or misunderstood, and therefore isolated. Maybe you need to understand your identity and who you are as a person. Whatever it is that brings you to counselling, my aim is to offer a supportive environment where you can be heard and seen without judgment, a space to process and understand what is going on for you.
I work in a creative and flexible way, collaborating with my clients to create a relationship that facilitates growth and a deeper personal awareness and connection to themselves. Each client is unique with their own individual experience; therefore, I listen with curiosity to fully understand how my client as an individual experiences their life. I help clients to break through barriers that may hold them back in life, helping them to reach their full potential.
Couples
It might be that the challenges and busyness of life has taken its toll on your relationship, and you realise that you've drifted apart. Could it be that communication has broken down and you're no longer working as a team. Maybe your relationship is under threat due to physical or mental ill-health, redundancy, differing ideas about parenting and/or becoming a 'blended' family. You may feel that sexual difficulties have become impossible to resolve.
There are so many reasons why a couple come for counselling. You may be coming knowing from the outset that you will separate but need support in making the break happen as easily as is possible.
I will not give you the answers or tell you whether or not you should separate. But I will provide a safe place for you to explore feelings and issues. Working collaboratively with you both to ascertain what is happening in your relationship, offering interventions to help you both to communicate effectively and reach your own conclusions.
I often find that couples who are both committed to the process will see that there is possibility for change that can help them experience a more fulfilled relationship.
