Starting counselling can feel daunting, especially if you’re not quite sure what’s wrong or where to begin. People come to therapy for many reasons — you may be struggling in your relationships, feeling anxious or overwhelmed, experiencing loss, or finding yourself in a period of crisis. Sometimes the distress is harder to define, but it still feels heavy and persistent.

​

Counselling offers a space to talk openly about what’s going on with someone who is trained to listen carefully and think alongside you. Being able to share your thoughts and feelings in a confidential, non-judgemental setting can bring relief, help you feel less alone, and begin to create movement where things have felt stuck.

​

I offer psychodynamic counselling, a well-established and effective approach for working with emotional difficulties. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on understanding how past experiences — particularly early relationships — may be influencing how you feel, think, and relate to others in the present. Often, patterns emerge that were previously outside of awareness. Gaining insight into these patterns can lead to meaningful change in how you experience yourself and your relationships.

​

Psychodynamic counselling is often open-ended, allowing the work to develop at a pace that feels right for you. Sessions usually take place weekly and continue for as long as they are helpful. Where appropriate, I also offer time-limited counselling, particularly if you have a specific focus or goal in mind.
