Psychotherapy and counselling can help you better understand your thoughts and feelings and, with that new understanding, support you in making the decisions about your life you want to make. 

 

Counselling generally refers to shorter-term work on one particular issue, such as a bereavement or a career change, while psychotherapy refers to longer-term work. Psychotherapy may involve looking at longer-term issues, patterns which repeat in your life, your ways of coping, or how you see yourself and the world around you. 

 

I’m an integrative psychotherapist. This means that I’m able to draw upon principles from a range of approaches to psychotherapy, tailoring my approach to you and your needs. No one person is the same as the next; the therapy they receive shouldn’t be either. In our initial session, and at review points during our work, I will ask you about your expectations of therapy and will discuss with you the ways in which we could work together to try to meet them. 

 

Whatever the approach to psychotherapy or counselling, it is widely acknowledged that the most important factor in helping people is the relationship between the therapist and the client. With this in mind, I provide a confidential, consistent, empathetic and non-judgmental space for you.

 

I’m able to work on a long-term, open-ended basis, or over a shorter-term. Whatever the duration of our work, we will meet once a week for a 50 minute session.
