Therapy Space

 

My approach

 

My intention is to create a space where you can slow things down, make sense of what’s going on, reflect and process things at your own pace. A space where, for a while, you don’t need to think about other people’s needs, wants or expectations. This time is about you.

​

As a person-centred counsellor, this is at the heart of my approach. I won’t tell you what you should do or how you should feel. Instead, we can take the time to explore what’s going on for you, together and at a pace that feels right.

​

For me, the relationship we build is an important part of the work. It takes time to get to know each other, and you don’t have to feel comfortable sharing everything straight away. There’s no expectation to arrive at your first session knowing exactly what you want to talk about.

​

You also don’t have to sit perfectly upright in front of a screen and have everything figured out. You might sit comfortably with a cup of tea or juice, move around, fidget, take a moment to think, or simply be quiet. This is a therapy session, not an interview.

you don’t need to perform, have the right words or play a role.

​

Talking isn’t always the easiest way to express how we feel. If words aren’t enough, there may be other ways to explore what’s going on — perhaps through writing, drawing, music or simply taking a moment to pause.

 

There is no right way to do counselling.
