My journey of becoming me
I am a person-centred counsellor who believes in the deep power of compassion. My journey into this work began through my own experiences of finding inner freedom. I discovered that by using my imagination to envision a better future and choosing to believe in my own worth, I could navigate through the heaviest clouds of uncertainty. This personal transformation is what drew me to support others; I know how vital a safe space is when you are trying to reconnect with your true self. To help you find that connection, I offer the choice between working outdoors or within a traditional setting. I am a firm believer in the grounding benefits of nature, providing walk-and-talk sessions that offer movement and fresh air while we explore difficult emotions. Equally, I value the therapy room as a quiet, contained space where you can feel held and secure. Whether we are walking in the open air or sitting together in the room, I bring a firm belief in your ability to grow beyond anxiety, depression, or the trauma of abuse into a life of genuine peace. I believe that positive change starts with your own choice. When you are truly ready to embrace a new path, I also offer hypnotherapy as a powerful way to work with the subconscious mind. It can be incredibly successful for goals like improving sleep or achieving sustainable weight loss. I have always felt that providing this support is my true calling. By combining the gentle focus of hypnotherapy with traditional counselling, I offer a particularly effective approach for managing anxiety. My aim is to help you tap into your inner strength, using these blended techniques to create a calm and balanced life. Together, we can unlock your potential for lasting wellness and peace. It is a naturally impactful practice that complements our work perfectly.
