My Approach
I offer long and short-term counselling and psychotherapy from a property conveniently located a short distance from the A3052, near Colyton, East Devon. Sessions are £50/hour.
As an integrative therapist, I aim to tailor your therapy to you. I put you at the centre of our work together, drawing on a variety of modalities in order to discover what works for you.
I draw mainly on the principles of the Person-Centred approach, and believe that people have the ability to work towards their own self-fulfilment. You are the expert of your own world.
I work in a collaborative and relational way and believe that you have the strength and resources to bring about change. It is my role, and my privilege, to help you along this journey.
Having accessed long term counselling myself, I am aware that it takes courage to begin the therapy process. I have also discovered a great deal about how to learn from suffering, and am passionate about empowering you to find your own journey and discover your authentic self.
You are deserving of acceptance and understanding. You deserve to be heard.
