"But part of getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself—to let go of the limiting stories you’ve told yourself about who you are so that you aren’t trapped by them, so you can live your life and not the story you’ve been telling yourself about your life."

About Me

Get to Know Me

I offer a compassionate and safe therapy space where you can feel empowered to talk through how you are feeling and work towards your goals.

​

My predominant therapeutic training is based in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) but I also draw on various alternative therapeutic models.

​

I hope that within our sessions you can gain understanding of your cognitive processes, emotions and unconscious patterns of responding so you can make changes that allow you to live in a way aligned with your values. 

​

I can also support you to turn down your inner critic to make space for an inner compassionate voice, build self-worth and acceptance and support you in healing inner child wounds.

​

Common benefits of counselling sessions include

 

  • gaining self-understanding 

  • improving your relationship with yourself

  • improving relationships with others

  • gaining confidence and self-worth

  • reducing anxiety

  • learning healthy ways of coping

  • feeling more able to enjoy things

  • understanding and regulating your emotions

  • processing stuck emotions

  • changing your behaviours and habits 

  • valuing your own needs

  • understanding set boundaries

  • breaking the cycle of people-pleasing

  • improving your relationship with food and your body

 

Therapy can help you to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.

​

When we feel overwhelmed we can often feel disconnected from ourselves, others and the world -therapy can ease the pressure you are feeling, provide you with skills to cope, and help you to re-connect.

 

In addition to talking, learning self-soothing techniques to calm your nervous system can be an important part of therapy for some clients.

​

Reaching out for therapy can be nerve-racking so make sure to give yourself credit for taking the step to look for a potential therapist and I hope you get the support you deserve soon.
