Counselling is a unique kind of conversation and relationship in which I will not offer advice as a friend might. The person-centred approach is about empowering you to find your own answers, with me supporting and encouraging you to do so. I have written an explanation of my core approach, the person-centred model in my blog here if you would like to know more about that.
We can be our own harshest critic. Therapy can enable you to treat yourself more kindly. I give you space to explore what is important to you, and how you can understand yourself better. We can examine whatever is getting in the way of you thriving and living in a way that has meaning for you. Through offering a deeply empathetic relationship, I counterbalance difficult experiences such as discrimination and lack of validation in the world.
The therapy experience is different for everyone, and can take some getting used to. It may feel like a relief to offload things that have been bottled up for some time. However, the process of change can be slow, and things may feel like they are getting worse before they get better. There are no easy answers or quick fixes here, but together we can try to make sense of what is going on for you now, what you want to be different, and how.
Weekly sessions
I work on a regular weekly basis, as I find this is best in terms of the momentum and focus of therapy, and our shared commitment to the process. In particular circumstances we may be able to meet less frequently, if we agree this is best for you.
