My Counselling Philosophy:

I believe passionately in the power of counselling to help change (and even save ) lives. However, I recognise that for the uninitiated it can be daunting and confusing world. If you think that you might benefit from the services of a counsellor you might be wondering where to even begin. I sincerely believe that, through counselling and my other holistic businesses, I can help people to fix up problems in their lives.

But what exactly do I get from it? If you’re considering working with me as a client I think you have a right to know what motivates me to do this for a living. I chose psychotherapy as a career because I want to help people. I need to feel that what I do makes a positive difference to the world. I’m not sure I can explain why. It just seems to be the way I am wired.

Psychotherapy seems to be at the core of my natural talents and strengths. I feel a sense of peace when I am counselling others. I enjoy stretching my mind to problem solve and I like feeling the empathy and compassion that spring up from a deep well inside of me when I can be of service. I get a feeling of inner flow when I become totally engrossed in the therapeutic process. It provides me with a sense of purpose and meaning that is deeply satisfying.

It never ceases to feel like anything other than a great privilege when my clients are prepared to share their deepest, inner-most selves with me. I trust that my clients learn something from me during our time together but they probably don’t realise just how much I learn from them. It is impossible not to gaze into the mind and soul of another human being without discovering deep truths about what it means to be human.

I can help you to bring about the real and meaningful change you need in your life. If you are struggling to overcome difficult times; need to cope better with troubling or disabling feelings such as anxiety, anger or depression; or if you’re just stuck in a rut I can help.
