something within us responds to people who level with us, there is official truth and ground truth, how wonderful to start experiencing ground truth.  Before we learn, we must unlearn, empty the cup. I needed trust and security and no conditions to start the process.. small steps.. with appreciation and gratitude…”

My practice is called SPACE2Be because it is rare these days to to find time to just BE we are all so pre-occupied with DOING. I endeavour to offer my clients a place to give time to themselves amidst the busy and demanding lives they lead.

Life can be very challenging, and at certain times situations from the past or present can seem overwhelming to cope with. It maybe that a current situation is causing you stress or anxiety or perhaps you have been silently struggling with a past issue that is now holding you back from moving forward in your life.

Asking for help and recognising this need is sometimes hard to admit to oneself. It need not be daunting. Taking the first step to seek counselling is a positive decision towards self care and increased self awareness. I am sensitive and understanding of how difficult it is sometimes to make that first initial contact.

What Can I offer?

I offer confidential therapy, with adults and young people (16 +) and couples in the following areas:

Anger & Conflict – Anxiety & Stress – Confidence & Self-esteem – Loss & Separation

Depression – Life Changes – Relationship Issues – Sexuality – Negative Thinking

What Can You Expect From Counselling?

- a confidential, personal, professional and ethical service

- that I will listen to you respectfully, without judgement

- that I will be empathic and genuine

- that I will give you the space to explore what you wish

- that I will not tell you what to do

- that I will acknowledge your individuality as a person

How to start counselling?

Throughout the initial call or email we can have a brief chat and I can answer any questions you may have. If you decide you would like to meet we can arrange a session. If you choose to come for counselling we will agree a time and frequency of sessions. Generally people come at the same time every week.

If you need flexibility this can be arranged. I offer long or short-term therapy with appointments available throughout the daytime and evenings.
