Therapy that focuses on your uniqueness and individuality

Are you struggling to cope with events, people, feelings and thoughts? Do you experience unrest or that constant judgemental and negative inner chatter that stops you from enjoying your life?  Do you feel at loss as to how you can deal with your distress and problems? Or perhaps you have already decided the way forward, but you feel stuck, unable to implement the changes you wish to make?

If your answer to any of the above is yes, you might feel that you do not have anyone to talk to about all these or you might not want to burden others with your own problems.  Perhaps you tried talking to people around you, but you felt that they did not understand what it feels like to be in your shoes; perhaps they did not really listen or they did not know how to respond. 

The fact that you are here visiting my website, whether you are exploring available help or have already decided to embark on therapy, shows that you have already made a decision to take action.

How can I help you?

My role in a client's life is unique and I feel privileged and humbled every time a client trusts me with their innermost thoughts, feelings and experiences. My aim is to create a safe space for you where you can be your real self and authentic. There is no judgement; only acceptance, honesty and authenticity. I can offer you trust, kindness, warmth and the occasional humour. In our sessions you can talk about anything that troubles you without worrying about being judged or misunderstood. In the therapeutic alliance that we could form, you matter. Therapy will mould to your needs, your pace of change and your feedback on how you experience me and therapy. 

I cannot tell you what to do, but I can help you look deeper into your experiences, thoughts, feelings and resulting behaviours that trouble you to enable you to understand yourself and your reactions better. Together we can explore options, strategies and interventions that could help generate change towards making your life the way you want it to beI would like to invite you to come and meet with me to get a sense of who I am, to see if you connect with me and explore ways that we could work together.
