Coming to a Counsellor or Psychotherapist is a big step especially when you have no idea of what to expect. I am not a doctor nor am I a scientist that conducts personality tests. I see myself as a professional with a set of specific skills. I offer a unique relationship through conversation with the aim of trying to improve the lives of my clients.

Together we will explore and identify patterns of behaviour, attitudes and beliefs that worked  in the past but are no longer working in the present. In many ways the relationship between client and therapist is an artificial one, but research agrees that this relationship is a snapshot into the client's world. Experiencing my feedback and observations can provide you with a greater understanding of how others experience you, and then you decide if this is valid. Together we can explore new options and look for solutions that work for you.

I don't sit and nod and focus only on feelings. I like to engage with my clients and learn their goals and expectations. Together we work towards them, sometimes stumbling along the way. We can explore blocks stopping you from being the person you want to be embracing the relationships you want to have, so that you can engage in life with more meaning and purpose. It is a hard, and sometimes long  journey to take together but it has immensely rewarding results for both of us.
