"My drive to become a therapist has always been to give my clients the amazing and life changing experience I had in my own therapy."
I started my own therapy as I was fed up feeling depressed and not good enough, I wanted something to change. Sitting with a therapist who I learned to trust and who really listened with empathy and compassion was so powerful for me. I was able to un-become some of the things I thought about myself and realise I was actually OK. Therapy is not a quick fix and it takes time and commitment to discover who you really are underneath all the layers.
I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step to investing in yourself but believe me its well worth it!
I come from an education background before moving on to teaching photography in schools and now therapeutic counselling. I have experience working with all kinds of creative people. I have always been fascinated with people's behaviour, emotions and relationships and strive to learn more about myself through supervision and training plus my own ongoing personal development.
Are you feeling depressed and finding it hard to enjoy life?
Are you a people pleaser and put everyone else first?
Do you feel you are never good enough?
Are you always worried about making a mistake and overwhelmed with perfectionism?
Do you worry all the time about everything?
Is it difficult to talk about it with anyone?
You may worry about burdening your family or friends. You may worry you’ll upset people or they won’t really understand or be objective.
In our sessions I will really listen to you, as you try to make sense of it all. I understand how difficult life can be at times and how helpful it can be to have a space to talk. We will work together to form a trusting relationship and I will listen with empathy and compassion, not criticism or judgement. With time and our developing relationship you will be able to be completely yourself, maybe for the first time.
I can also gently challenge you to maybe see things differently and also help you to explore who you really are and accept yourself.
