Consulting  Counselling  Coaching

A connection and investment in you as a person

"I really enjoy the natural flow of the counselling process. Before counselling even starts, there has to be a connection. It comes from within – reaching out to a person on a very human level, the willingness to really see and invest in them, connect and tap into thoughts and feelings, hear what is said and not said, and search for what is just below the surface, hidden but wanting to emerge and be acknowledged."

​

A real relationship that values you

"For me, the strength and realness of a therapeutic relationship is the absolute key to successful counselling and to healing. That’s why I bring all of myself to counselling relationships, drawing on my own lived experience of wanting to be heard, understood, regarded and valued for all that is in me, to be seen as I am, and good enough just to be."    

​

Trusting someone with your story

"It’s a really big step to trust another person with your own unique experiences, your view of the world, and hope that your counsellor will respect, value, empathise, understand, and support you as you explore your challenges and barriers, your hurts and disappointments, your fears, concerns and sorrow; as you share your story, perhaps for the first time, and try to heal or seek change.

​

It is the journey that anyone who goes to see a counsellor is seeking."

​

Being vulnerable and healing

"As your counsellor, I respect the position of trust and privilege I am being given to walk with you as you share what is most important and meaningful to you. I will give you an opportunity to be vulnerable, with dignity and safety, and to be heard and understood, without it compromising the rest of your world, and I will hold you through the process of change and healing."
