"Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand That this too, was a gift." Mary Oliver I work within the Person-Centred framework,which is about valuing and validating your experience. Therapy is an opportunity to empower yourself to be at home with your life experiences and embrace life in its multitudes of manifestations , maintaining a strong sense of self and purpose. Mental and emotional suffering are part of life, the pain at times can be too much to bear on our own. Counselling can be a safe space to be held, seen and find the gifts that otherwise could be lost in the crisis and challenges we face. Suffering is inevitable but it does not need to be endless.You may feel lost alone, confused, scared or scarred by your experiences, I offer the opportunity for learning, healing and growth, where a transformation of perspective is possible. You may be able to develop your strength and find resources to feel empowered and more in control of yourself and your environment. You may also feel more courageous to take risks and make changes, knowing there is a safety in the therapeutic process. If you are facing a sudden crisis or long term difficulties, I am here to be with you in the depths of loneliness and in the joy of recovery. I believe in the power of a healthy relationship to nurture your ability to love, learn and grow.
