"As no-one else can know how we perceive, we are the best experts on ourselves"-Carl Rogers

My own background has lead me into the world of counselling, helping others who are experiencing emotional distress or some kind of internal or external crisis. This coupled with my integrative training means I have experience working with a wide range of emotional difficulties.

I hope to offer you a compassionate and safe environment allowing you to explore painful feelings that could be causing you symptoms of distress. This exploration, over time, can provide some relief from these symptoms. As we explore this together, my hope is that you will also gain an insight into understanding yourself better; enabling you to perhaps make changes or choose a path that feels intuitively right for you.

My personal ethos is that we all know what feels right for us and what is innately best for us, no one else is an expert in our lives. Finding ways to trust our instincts helps us gain self-awareness, which enables us to build our own inner-resources and strengths. This can free us from emotional burden and feel empowering. I work by aiding this process through our sessions together
