Holistic Nurturing for the Mind
Do you feel stuck and struggling to find resolution and peace; maybe searching for fulfilment and wanting more empowerment? Are you in pain holding onto a traumatic past experience, struggling with addiction, depression or dealing with conflicts relating to your identity.
Perhaps you have experienced loss, be it the death of a loved one, a friend or relationship breakdown. Maybe you’ve been affected by redundancy or have received a terminal illness diagnosis. Are you experiencing conflict as a couple and struggling to resolve it or perhaps just cannot cope with day-to-day life.
All it takes is a little bit of courage, a leap of faith and willingness to embrace the process.
My guess is, if you looking at this website you searching for someone to guide you in the right direction, therapy is about exploring connections, evaluating, a coming to terms with, feeling, recognising and making change, be it minor or major, in the way you think, assess, feel, respond or behave.
To this end it is my aim to provide you with a really safe space to explore, offer you compassion and understanding, whilst I cannot give you all the answers, or fix you I can stand with you, provide a safety net to catch you should you fall.
The therapeutic relationship between us is where the magic happens, so I encourage you to just be who you need to be in the moment, together we can sit with your sadness, anger, resentments, shame, embarrassment, fears, special moments, hopes, dreams, no judgement what so ever.
And, I have faith in you, that through this process, you will find your personal blueprint, to your life as intended, its inevitable, you will find the answers that are just right for you.
About Me
I offer a chance to reflect on the difficulties or problems you are experiencing in a safe and confidential environment, with someone from outside your day-to-day life.

Counselling experience
Counselling takes place in a safe space, where you can meet with someone who will listen with sensitivity and empathy without judgement. In the therapy space thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely and in confidence. Counselling gives us a set of tools we can use to help gain a better understanding of what’s causing these problems - and how you can move towards managing or resolving them.
