Person-Centred Approach
My core training is as a Person-Centred Counsellor and this will be at the heart the work we do. From the first session we will discuss the focus of your sessions, which are tailored to each individual.
Creative Methods
Sometimes expressing our feelings can be tough, however, I also work creatively, bringing in a variety of creative methods to help to draw out our feelings, which can be helpful when we don't have the words to explain. This can be discussed further and tailored to your preferences.
What issues can therapy help with?
People come to me for help with a wide range of issues. Here are a few of the more common difficulties that can be supported through therapy:
Anxiety
Depression
Sexuality
Gender Identity
Self-harm
