Healing takes time

I don’t “fix” behaviours or offer quick answers. Instead, we work together to explore what may be happening beneath the surface of what is troubling you.

Sometimes our difficulties can be connected to experiences from childhood, or to patterns and experiences carried through our family history and across generations.

 An holistic approach to healing recognises that your emotional wellbeing is just as important as your physical wellbeing, and these aspects are interconnected.

Just as physical healing takes time, emotional healing is not a quick fix.

I see therapy as a gradual process of awakening and personal growth, expanding your understanding of yourself and the world around you.

Your healing path is unique to you – we work with whatever you bring to your therapy session.

Issues people bring to counselling include:

• Tired of trying to fit in, meeting the expectations of everyone else, and losing sight of who you really are
• Feeling stuck or lost, or unsure where you are going
• Anxiety or depression
• Stress and overwhelm
• Overthinking
• Life transitions, such as leaving home or the end of a relationship or friendship
• Relationship and parenting concerns
• Grief and loss
• A feeling that there is more to life

What happens in a counselling session?

I believe healing happens in relationship. 

I offer a space where you can feel accepted for who you really are and what you bring to counselling.

In your sessions, we will work with whatever is present for you at the time, gently following your own unique process.

We’ll begin by getting to know each other. I’ll ask you to complete an intake questionnaire and provide some basic information such as your name, date of birth and contact details.

I’ll explain a little about how I work and ask you to sign a Therapy Agreement, which outlines our therapeutic relationship.

Once these practicalities are taken care of, we can begin exploring what has brought you to counselling and what you would like to achieve from our time together.

My role is not to analyse or tell you what to do. 

I trust in your own inner wisdom. Together, we can gently explore what brings you to therapy, processing what lies beneath the surface of whatever is troubling you.
