Counselling
Counselling
Working from a humanistic philosophy, I see you and your life events as unique, and you and our therapeutic relationship are at the centre of my approach.
Counselling with Kindness
Presence
Presence
is not something that’s easy to put into words. People who know me describe my presence as one of kindness, care, sensitivity and understanding.
The importance of the therapeutic relationship we build together cannot be underestimated. It’s the wonder of connecting at such a level of depth and understanding, honestly and openly, that can help to heal and enable growth as a human being.
It’s about experiencing the warmth and power of the therapeutic relationship, the safety of the unconditional acceptance of who you are – both the bits you are ok about sharing and the parts that are maybe harder for you to share. When one feels that you are enough, it can be a transformative experience.
My focus is always on meeting you at that level of depth, when you are ready to do so, respecting your pace and progress and always being guided by you. It takes work and effort from both of us.
Wellbeing
It’s my responsibility to hold the space, to keep it safe, as we gain a deeper understanding about yourself and others.
In each and every session, I will be respectful with you, becoming attuned to you and what you want to focus on. Whatever I draw to your attention will be done sensitively, gently and with care.
I make no assumptions. I check in with you in different ways during sessions to see how close we are to an understanding of what you are sharing.
I shall work with skill, passion and a commitment to your wellbeing. I shall work to make the ending of each session feel safe too, so that you can re-enter the world outside the counselling space.
All of these steps are ways in which I support clients, always with care and kindness, with integrity and commitment to your wellbeing.
