About the Therapist
About the therapist:

I'm a person centred therapist, in short this means that you are always my focus and that my role is to create a safe, non-judgemental, accepting space within which you can feel free to explore your world and issues. These can be varied and wide ranging, taking in your past, present and future. The experience of being in this space, feeling really heard and seen and accepted for you are is powerful and the potential benefits are limitless. 

As a member of the GSRD community, my own life experiences and on-going journey of self-discovery have allowed me to see and understand just how transformative and valuable it is to have a place where we can be free to be ourselves, without fear of judgement and negative consequences.

It is my privilege to offer this to others...

Experience and approach:

It is important for me as a person centred therapist that you feel ready and comfortable to bring and talk about whatever you want to, therefore the content of the sessions is led by you rather than me. Nothing is off limits however and sessions tend to be fairly organic and can go wherever you choose. My role is active and I will be engaged with you in what is a collaborative process.
