How I work
I am a Humanistic therapist who provides talking therapy, one-to-one. I believe that human beings have an enormous capacity to heal and to overcome.
​​
My approach is based on the philosophy that real change takes place on a deep level and is led by the client themselves. No two people have had the exact same experience, so all assumptions are put aside and we will try to understand your experience and what that is like for you.​
​
I will ask questions, be curious and offer my observations.
​You will set the aims of our work together and we will agree what you would like to gain from therapy at the outset.
​
Through our explorations, where you talk about what you feel is most important, I will try to help you gain clarity and deeper understanding. When this happens you will naturally see the path ahead more clearly.
​
An extra benefit of therapy is that self-esteem will likely improve. This is an integral part of growth and healing.
​
My aim is to help to facilitate a shift in my clients, so positive change is lasting and liberating.

“Go back and take care of yourself. Your body needs you, your perceptions need you, your feeling needs you. The wounded child in you needs you. Your suffering needs you to acknowledge it.”
