Counselling

Sometimes counselling is called therapy, or psychotherapy, as it involves talking to a trained therapist about thoughts, feelings and experiences that might be important, painful or even difficult to live with.

Counselling with a therapist is different from talking with friends and family, as counsellors are trained to offer an unbiased space that is free of judgment so that you can work through whatever is going on.

Counselling gives you a space to focus on yourself, to explore and talk about those aspects of life that you are struggling with so that you can work out what you want to change or what you might want to learn to live with differently. It also provides an honest space to acknowledge how your experiences affect you in the here and now.

Counselling may last for a short time or it may last for months or years.

My Approach

I am an integrative therapist with a person-centred approach to counselling, grounded in care, empathy, non-judgment, acceptance, and a deep sense of regard for others.

In a world that teaches us to keep our distance, I have realised that the best posture I can take is to lean in. To lean in close to people's pain, to lean in closely to people's stories. Sometimes, when we lean in, people's pain can feel like it is our pain. I have learned that when I am willing to be so leaned in, as to feel someone else’s hurt inside of me, that I can in turn, create a space so sacred and safe for them to lean in, so close as to feel and experience my love and care inside of them.
