Philosophy

Life can be chaotic and full of day to day struggles. People have a limited capacity to get things done, and sometimes we can spend so much time and energy just keeping afloat, that we don’t have the opportunity to look any deeper. Perhaps these daily struggles stem from bigger issues, and if you could find and fix the root cause then you would have more time to discover what you really want out of life and to reach your goals.

It might be that you know what you`d like to do, but you feel like you just can`t get there and you don’t know why. Perhaps even friends and relatives haven’t been able to help you, and you don’t know where to start by yourself. Sometimes a third person who isn’t entangled in your everyday life can help you see problems from a different perspective, putting you back in charge of your own life.

Approach

My approach as a therapist very much reflects my philosophy. It’s important to take enough time at the start of therapy to really understand what the problem is, to understand how you are really feeling, and to begin to work out what the underlying issue is. Together we will set some goals – which you will choose – and we work together to find out what is stopping you from achieving the life that you want.

I truly value individuality, and no two people ever come to therapy with exactly the same problem, so whilst I like to formulate therapy in a structured way, just as each person is different, each client’s plan will be unique too.

Motivation

I get immense satisfaction from watching someone discover that they have the capacity to do things that they never thought were possible. Sometimes it’s a creeping process of realisation, and sometimes it’s a moment where something just clicks, and they see the world in a totally different light, but whichever way this shift of perspective comes, witnessing it happen is unlike any other experience.
