counselling and psychotherapy

The therapy I offer is nurturing, spacious, connected, and we tune into what is truly present for you and your circumstance. I work at depth and with you at your pace.  

I can offer consultations, online, in the consulting room, and outdoors with the other than human natural world. Our work together can be a blended mix of those ways of working or exclusively one, what contains the therapy is the relationship we build. 

Beginning your journey

Entering into counselling or psychotherapy anew or as a repetition is a momentous investment in yourself; it’s a great decision to take to begin the process of valuing yourself and the relationships in your life that support and nourish you. I hope that I may assist you now as you navigate your arrival to this threshold.

Presenting issues

I work with people of all backgrounds both arriving into and continuing the unique activity of therapy. Often the reasons given to me for arriving to therapy are about, anxiety, depression, sadness, self confidence, life changing illnesses, self identity, early childhood, past or present relationships, bereavements, traumatic experiences, and mental health diagnosis. How these issues and difficult feelings manifest in people’s lives are usually unique and numerous, and they may be identified as problems or difficulties with,

• personal identity, a sense of self or questions of ‘who I really am’
• the ‘state of the world’, particularly climate and ecological anxieties;
• food, alcohol, or other substances;
• work, or daily activity;
• marriages or partner relationships;
• children and parenting;
• family breakdown or worry about that;
• parenting or co-parenting in separated families;
• finances;

And many other ways of identifying the problems, difficulties and pains that sometimes come with living.
