My core training (2012-2016) was in the person-centred approach of Carl Rogers. My priority is to provide you with a safe space where you are met with kindness and welcomed in all aspects of yourself and your life situation and not be judged. I offer listening sessions where there is no pressure on you. You can come and talk and share what's weighing on you, or what you can't talk about with others, or don't have anyone to share with. I also offer a process called Clean Language - more about that here: cleanlanguage.com I also work with a process called focusing www.focusing.org.uk I incorporate art & visual ways of exploring issues - this can be a basic sketch or mapping out an issue, or using objects to understand an issue and what you would like to have happen.

Over the 12 years I've been a counsellor, clients have given me consistent feedback that they've felt understood, cared about and were able to share things with me that had felt difficult before. I work experientially and somatically and my personal experience as well as my work with clients is testimony to the fact that this can get to the the heart of what you're dealing with and offer you new ways forward, whether that is understanding yourself better, taming your inner critic or finding ways out of depression and anxiety that might be thwarting or crushing your life. I deeply understand that so many people feel some, or a lot of, shame with what they're going through because they cannot manage it themselves. Somehow we are not good enough, we've failed, we're putting on a good front or mask. And maybe you're not managing at all right now. The times we live in and the way the world is now along with fears about the future are also very stressful for many on an existential level.
