My Approach

Counselling: Working as a Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor I bring warmth, compassion, humour and insight; my aim is to create a therapeutic relationship from which you can grow from the challenges of life, through increased self awareness, finding self confidence and maybe finding some practical resources to help you through future bumps in life. I concentrate on your unique, individual needs and your potential for growth, specifically by looking at the 'whole picture'. This can be described as "combining the wisdom of the thinking mind with the intuition of the feeling body" in order to get a deeper sense of what it is we are experiencing, if necessary using more creative interventions or nature when we find it difficult to engage with emotions or communicate verbally.

EMDR: Working with a tecnique of bi-lateral stimulation using rapid eye movements or tapping, clients can work through blocked or stuck emotional responses that may be a result of previous trauma.
