Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.
Viktor Frankl
There may be many reasons you’ve found your way here, or it could be one.
Perhaps you’re here because you want to make a change or because you’re struggling with stress, anxiety or depression. It could be that you’re going through a period of change or loss, navigating complicated feelings or dealing with relationship issues. Maybe you’re having trouble sleeping, want to work on overcoming a phobia or have a habit you want to break.
My objective and commitment as a therapist is to be there alongside you, shoulder to shoulder. By holding a space for you to be truly listened to, supported and empowered, I offer a compassionate, empathetic, non-judgemental and client-centred approach, believing you hold the skills to overcome the challenges you face. I truly believe that everyone deserves to be heard and have their experiences validated and I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable and at ease. We’ll go at your pace, and you won’t need to talk about things you’re not ready to discuss.
By training in an integrative approach to Clinical Hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, I’m able to draw on a wide wide range of techniques and theories which is tailored especially to you, such as Clinical Hypnosis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), Eye Movement Reconsolidation (EMR), Polyvagal Theory, Havening Techniques and Person-Centred Psychotherapy. This means I’m able to use a multidisciplinary understanding of psychology to offer both short-term, evidence-based and solution-focused support or longer term therapy depending on what you feel you need.
It can be really daunting reaching out for help and taking the first steps to find a therapist. Reaching out for help is a courageous start and choosing the right therapist is an important part of your journey. To help you decide whether I might be the right person for you, I offer a free 20 minute discovery call, with no obligation, so you can explore this further.
I know that everyone’s situation is different, which is why I offer both face-to-face and online sessions - it’s all about finding what works best for you.
We all have our own unique story and journey, and I’m here to help you navigate yours.
Let’s work together to help you feel heard, understood and empowered.
