Welcome

Stressed, anxious, depressed?
Suffering from traumatic and challenging life events?
Going through difficult times of change and upheaval?
Searching for meaning?

These are a few of the possible reasons why people seek therapeutic help.

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist practicing in the Chilterns area and have worked for several years with individuals on a variety of issues.

I will provide a safe and confidential environment for you to bring your concerns and experiences, relate your history, and explore your problems and issues. As you tell your story and receive an empathic response you will be able to work through painful feelings and clarify confusing thoughts; this leads to a new perspective on what troubles you and a deeper connection to who you are and to what is meaningful for you.

Some other reasons for seeking help include:

• emotional problems
• stress and anxiety
• depression
• loss and bereavement
• sexuality
• relationship problems
• loss of meaning and direction
• mid-life issues
• spirituality

Counselling can be relatively short term where a particular issue in your current life is focused on and addressed. In psychotherapy it becomes possible to take a deeper look at underlying patterns and influences in the journey of your life; this can lead to a widening of perspective and a shift in your way of being in the world, a more authentic dialogue between your inner self and your outer life.
