About me
Having clear goals, a strong counselling relationship, and an accepting environment which fosters growth are key to successful therapeutic outcomes. If you choose to work with me you can expect empathic collaboration, gaining insight and skills to reframe your challenges, and enhance resilience in your everyday life.
My integrated practice draws heavily on the holistic principles of Humanistic Counselling. Therapy takes place in the here-and-now, but often presenting issues have their roots in the past. Active curiosity can uncover the causes of distress and identify opportunities for change as you exercise free will and take more control in your life.
Improving awareness of thoughts and feelings and associating these with behaviour towards yourself and others will be at the core of our work. I believe identifying, setting, and achieving goals allows you to take active responsibility for personal growth, resulting in meaningful, rewarding, and sustainable change.
My previous career spanning 23 years in high level finance roles in the city affords me a keen insight into the challenges and professional dynamics of demanding corporate cultures. This has proven invaluable in my therapeutic coaching approach with clients who require a level of understanding derived from shared experience.
In a therapeutic coaching context, I work with goal setting and achievement, uncovering blocks to progress, motivating factors, and improving professional relationships. I can also help with enhancing personal resilience and dealing with setbacks.
