“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well, can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes reality when we recognise our shared humanity.”

— Pema Chördrön

Empowering you to find the right way forward for you

I work with individual clients from the age of 18+, on an open-ended basis or for an agreed period of time depending on your unique needs.

I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow and to find their own answers when they are provided with a safe and secure therapeutic relationship. For this reason, I will not be telling you what to do or leading you to a direction that doesn’t feel right for you. I will instead work collaboratively with you, by supporting you to get in touch with your own inner resources and by enabling you to find the right way forward for you.

During the therapeutic process, I will aim to help you find the answers that you are looking for and to empower you. I will provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you will feel truly heard, understood, accepted and valued. I will be there with you and I will support you every step of the way.

I view my role as working alongside you to help you find your own way forward, at a pace that suits you, by actively listening to you and by asking open, exploratory questions in order to help you make sense of your situation, view things from a different perspective, and in order to facilitate you in making the changes that you may want to make.

I am currently offering both remote counselling sessions via secure online video conferencing platforms, such as: Zoom or FaceTime throughout the week (Tue-Fri), and in-person counselling sessions on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at The Eaves in Farnham, walking distance from Farnham train station and easily accessible from the surrounding towns of Aldershot, Godalming, Alton, Haslemere, Guildford, Farnborough and Fleet.

When you feel ready to take the first step, please do email, text, or call me to arrange a reduced-fee 50-minute consultation, where I can answer any questions you may have, and where we can decide how we may work together.
