When you first make the choice to start therapy or counselling you may feel overwhelmed. You may have reached a point in your life when a particular problem feels unmanageable or you are feeling stuck. Common reasons why people decide to seek therapy include loss, bereavement, inability to recover from certain events and relationship issues. However, with the right counsellor for you, a healing experience can occur and successful treatment can be found. Maybe you struggle alone with depression, anxiety or eating disorders. With an experienced psychotherapist, these issues can be tackled in a safe environment. We use an integrative approach to a wide variety of conditions.

Psychotherapy and counselling are effective when trust is part of the therapeutic process. All information disclosed is treated as confidential. It is vitally important to feel safe and secure in the relationship with your therapist, and this is a key part of our work with you during the therapeutic process. This means building a secure, collaborative relationship as a framework for the therapy through scrupulous attention to confidentiality and professional boundaries. The client sets the pace of the work, and we use strengths and resources the client already possesses to tackle areas of difficulty. We are aware that habitual patterns of relating are commonly reproduced in the therapy relationship. We have integrity and a commitment to exploring these patterns as they show themselves. Our aim as therapists is to ensure the balance of support and challenge, based on your needs.
