About therapy
Counselling gives you room to breathe, space to think, and a chance to explore your options for how things could be different.
Therapy is a space where you don't have to hide or apologise for your feelings. Whatever’s on your mind: the future, the past, family, love, work, purpose, life, death - nothing is off the table.
There could be all kinds of reasons you’re here.
Perhaps low mood, worry, or stress is feeling overwhelming.
Maybe you keep finding yourself having the same problems in relationships.
You might want to make a change, but don’t know where to start.
It can be hard to see a way through when you’re in the middle of it. Counselling can help with that.
Counselling gives us new choices.
Although I draw on a number of different approaches to suit each of my clients, my core training is in Transactional Analysis (TA).
TA helps us to explore the way that our life experiences shape the decisions we make (including the limitations we put on ourselves). Often, we’re not aware of these decisions - it’s what we’ve grown up with, so it’s just what we’re used to.
Counselling can help us to notice the way these decisions have shaped our lives, and give us the opportunity to make different choices.
I know first hand how powerful and life-changing therapy can be, as I’ve spent plenty of time in the ‘client chair’ myself over the years.
