About me

Deciding to start therapy can feel daunting at first so, when you first contact me, I’ll offer you a brief phone conversation to answer any questions and to help you decide whether you’d like to make an initial appointment.

In our first session, I will aim to get a picture of how your life is right now and what you want to change. We will then discuss how we might go about this and, together, agree a focus for our sessions. You can then decide whether or not this is for you, and book further appointments if you wish.

We are all subject to fears and worries, outside pressures, negative self-judgements and criticisms. Sometimes these overwhelm us and we lose perspective and can’t see the wood for the trees. Through therapy we will work together to help you gain some clarity, overcome the obstacles that are getting in the way, and take back control of your life.

Everyone is different and it may be that a goal-orientated short-term therapy is suitable for you, for example Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Or we might agree on a more open-ended approach, depending on what you want to get from therapy. I see therapy as a collaborative, problem-solving relationship and my emphasis is always on helping you take charge of your life and make the changes you want.

I value people and I care about them. I use my own particular style to help people value and care about themselves. With greater compassion for ourselves and renewed confidence in our own strengths, we can have the courage to become more ourselves, liberated from self-limiting beliefs, and living the life we choose.
