A place created for you to find shelter from the daily demands and expectations. A space for you to pause, find your breath and settle, even if it is just for a while. From here you can explore the many layers of what it means to be you.

As you are telling your story, I am here to hold you in your complexities as a human being, not to make you easy to be with for the convenience of others.

I am here to hold you in your contradictions, quirks, doubts and fears, your sadness that might include your anger or even rage and fury. I am also here to hold you in your hopes, strengths and aspirations, your joy.

You, whose story did not start with yourself but can only be continued by you.

As you are being listened to, you give yourself an opportunity to connect with all your emotions, thoughts, feelings and behaviour. This includes the unwanted ones or those that need protection and hiding because they feel too precious.

As time goes by you might find that they can inform you. Rather than keeping you lost, stuck or going around in circles they can support you as you navigate your life going forward.

Together, not alone.

My approach is well-suited to those who are seeking or are in need of an alternative to traditional talk therapy. This might be through paying more attention to the body, e.g. your breath, holding and movement patterns or pain. As a way of supporting my clients in gaining awareness and reclaiming power and agency, I often work creatively.

Depending on your preferred ways of learning this might be using metaphors, images, movement, constellation work and other methods, including those used in Monodrama. I encourage my clients to bring anything that inspires and resonates with them, whether that might be their dreams, music, poetry, movies, games and their interactions with AI.

If my way of working resonates with you or you have further questions, please feel free to get in touch for an initial free conversation. I am here to listen and explore potential options with you.

There is no charge for an initial phone conversation. Subsequent sessions are charged at a rate of £70 per 50 minute session. I offer support for adults through face to face and online counselling.
