You may be struggling with or overwhelmed by particular feelings or emotions: anxiety, fear, grief, anger, sadness, shame, depression …

You may be in the middle of unsettling transition: moving to a new country, parenthood, retirement, health concerns, bereavement, relationship difficulties or breakdown …

Perhaps you’re facing, or have the opportunity of, change and feel unable to make important decisions …

You may be stressed, low in energy, confused, unsure of who you are, feel worthless …

You may be dependent on alcohol or drugs (prescribed or not) …

You may have a nagging sense that your life isn’t all it could be, but you don’t know how or why …

Maybe you just want to look more deeply at who you really are, who you really could be.

Or your reasons for contemplating therapy may be entirely different. Whatever brings you here, it will be you as a whole person, and not simply your problems, that will be at the centre of our relationship. Person-centred therapy is not a treatment or cure; there won’t be a box of tricks or a magic wand. I won't coach you in how to live your life. It’s a journey, short or long, gentle or intense, at your pace, towards becoming the person you really are: towards being able to express in your everyday behaviour and awareness who, and what, you already are at depth. We will explore, and work together at, the point of your discomfort – at the point of incongruence between who you believe yourself to be and who your being knows that you truly are.

I will work with you not as a disembodied expert, but as a partner and most importantly as a person. We will begin where you are, and focus on what makes you the unique person that you are and on what is already trying to change, be expressed and grow, always beginning from and returning to an awareness of the present moment.
