Life can sometimes feel like we are being dragged under, or along, or there are obstacles in our way that mean we aren’t able to live as fully as we would like. There are many reasons why we find it difficult to become aware of or change the way we navigate our lives. These can include a lack of self awareness and empowerment, or it could be a reliance on coping strategies that no longer work for you. These can stem from personal trauma and social and cultural expectations that have been damaging and have shaped our responses to the word and those around us. These feelings can be extremely isolating and upsetting.

I will work with you to expand your awareness, rediscover parts of yourself that have remained dormant and open a safe space for you to explore your feelings. We will work to process your experiences, integrate them and uncover your power to shape your own life and make stronger connections to the people, things, beliefs and places that are important to you. Leading to an increased sense of self confidence and autonomy.

I use humanistic integrative models to guide our work, such as Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Existential Therapy, CBT and Psychosynthesis, alongside creative approaches, such as creative writing and artwork. It can all sound quite complicated, but the at the basis of it all is that we will work in a person centred way, with an emphasis on building a trusting and safe relationship, utilising the above models, to help you make informed choices. It is a collaborative exercise that empowers you!
