My Approach

I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space for you to explore your needs. Concerns I have worked with include:
* being stuck in unhelpful patterns of relating, whether at home, with family and friends or in the workplace;
* feeling unhappy, sad, anxious, depressed, unfulfilled or a bit lost;
* feeling confused and uncertain about changes of direction in life due to break-up of relationships, loss and bereavement, workplace challenges and change, impact of external events;
* recurrence of negative thoughts and fears and low self esteem.
Often, patterns of feeling and behaviour are set in early childhood and are not in conscious awareness. Together we will explore the beliefs you hold about yourself and others, where these beliefs originated, what survival methods you may have cultivated unconsciously, which negative experiences keep repeating themselves, how you have developed a life script which forms the basis of your feelings, thoughts and beliefs. We will work to bring these feelings, thoughts and beliefs into conscious awareness so that you may consciously test out their validity and challenge them in order to bring about change.

I will work with you to explore how life experiences might be hijacking you in the present and to help you build trust and confidence in yourself and in the life choices you make.
