How can counselling help?
Counselling and therapy provide the space and time to think and talk about your life in a way that can be uniquely empowering.
It’s a confidential space where you can share thoughts and feelings that you may find more difficult to discuss with friends or family. Therapy sessions give the opportunity to talk with someone objective, who is separate from your life and those close to you.
It offers the space to explore your past and how it has impacted you, to look at your life now and where you may be feeling unhappy, unfulfilled or stuck and to think about what you want from your life, your work and your relationships.
By facing where you find yourself in midlife, counselling can help you to connect with your self again, decide what you want to change and support you to move forward with clarity and purpose
Are you ready to take your first step towards understanding and transforming your midlife experience?
It’s never too late to create the life you want.
Let’s explore your path forward together.
My Approach
My approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, which delves into the underlying issues that may be influencing your current thoughts, feelings and behaviours. By exploring your past experiences and their impact on your present, we can uncover insights that lead to deeper self-awareness and lasting transformation.
Psychodynamic counselling is open ended, which means I provide a space for you for as long as you need it. This may be for a short time, focussing on a specific issue, or for longer term therapy working with your unique circumstances and experiences.
