Your Source for Understanding

Do you feel lost? Isolated? Judged? Is there part of your story which you need to understand and possibly process? It goes without saying that we all go through difficult times, but every now and again (maybe even more than that) we can feel so overwhelmed with intrusive thoughts that we cannot see a clear way forward. Therapy can help unravel the 'stuckness' you may be experiencing. It is possible to discover the means which you can to take to appreciate life once more, as well as finding that self belief to enable you to enjoy living, not just existing, and definitely not in fear of another individual. My desire is for us to work together in a safe and confidential environment so that you may uncover the tools necessary to tackle life's hurdles which will empower you to develop and grow into the unique individual which you are.

You can do this!

What is Counselling?

Counselling is a talking, listening and reflective therapy which enables you to share your issues with a trained professional who is completely independent of your problems and daily life. The hour we set aside is your time to process the issues which you struggle with, without fear of judgement, criticism, being rejected, disliked or unheard. In fact being truly listened to is a powerful and unique experience that in itself can lead you to feel less burdened and weighed down with your worries.

How dfsCounselling Can Help You

I’m conscious that sharing personal dilemmas — those very things which disturb you and cause the sleepless nights, panic attacks, depression, etc — can in themselves cause you to feel anxious and apprehensive. So, we’ll take our time — it’s a process not a marathon.

However, let me say this: when you put those suppressed thoughts and feelings into words, you bring them out into the open which can be a relief and a revelation. Just hearing your internal thoughts being spoken aloud can lead to fresh insights. You are facing your fears in a safe and trusting environment, and , through the course of time you will discover that sense of control which you have over your life once more.


If you cry — and many people do (including myself) — then this is normal;  and that relationship built up between us, will allow me to ‘hold’ this emotion, support you and be alongside you as you learn to respect and care for yourself.

Getting Started

We’ll start with the paperwork — not the most exciting task, but needs must. I’ll get you to complete a CORE 34 sheet which allows me to see those areas which trouble you, thereafter, I’ll begin by asking you to share some of your story — what’s safe and comfortable for you. Eventually, through the time we spend together, my desire is that you will find ways of accepting, and coming to terms with those things which you believe you cannot change, and make positive, more constructive changes where you can. This journey of 'awareness' will allow you to re-examine those beliefs you thought were cast in stone, compared to the things which really matter to you. The ultimate goal is for you to learn more about yourself and your relationships with others.

And the journey of rediscovery begins . . .
