I am a BACP accredited psychotherapist, offering counselling and psychotherapy, in person and online. I have trained in Gestalt and Transpersonal approaches to therapy, with additional training in dreamwork and art therapy. I see therapy as, potentially, an exciting and inspiring journey of discovery. This does not mean that we can avoid pain, grief, and suffering. Rather, there are resources within us that both bring joy, and support resilience, in the face of life’s challenges.
“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become,” C. G. Jung
I first had therapy myself in my early twenties and I benefited greatly from the the kindness and empathy of the counsellor. I was so inspired, that I decided to train as a therapist myself. Working with clients has shown me again and again the truth in Irving Yalom’s words,
“It’s the relationship that heals.”
For some clients, talking through their issues is what they most need. For those drawn to working creatively or exploring dreamwork, I can offer this to support the talking therapy.
