Counselling
Some people come to see me to discuss a specific problem, which has been concerning them. They discover in a relatively short time, that being in a peaceful, confidential environment, and speaking with a supportive, trained, experienced and empathetic person, can help them to develop new skills that help to:
- Clarify their thinking
- Develop new helpful ways of behaving
- Learn to cope positively with difficulties
- Begin to feel differently about themselves, other people and life in general.
Psychotherapy
Other people decide they want to come to see me and take a longer-term commitment. They are ready to resolve underlying causes that originally created the problems, which have been troubling them. Psychotherapy provides people with an opportunity to identify these causes. During this process people can gradually update less-than-helpful beliefs, behaviours and feelings that have been restricting their lives. Such changes can benefit people by expanding within them a sense of peace, well-being, self-confidence, self-awareness and self-acceptance.
My Role
My aim is to provide a safe, confidential environment, where you can take your time to discuss what you need and want to. I can assist you to discover the cause of your problem. I will offer non-judgemental support, and listen carefully to what you say. When necessary I can share my knowledge and skills to support your personal development. I will provide encouragement as you make the changes you wish to make to your life. You are most welcome to contact me personally to book an appointment.
