Counselling and Psychotherapy
I am a qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist. What this means is that together we will explore your past experiences and how they affect your relationship to, and experience of the present. Many of our thoughts are deep rooted in to our minds which have yet to be processed. It's about making the unconscious conscious, with the goal of breaking down the bonds of the past in order to live more fully in the present. By working this way allows you to discover the source of the problem that you are encountering.
This exploration can be a journey of self discovery, but a journey that doesn't need to be taken alone. I will offer empathy whilst being non-judgemental in a warm friendly manner, and an approach that is simple and down to earth.
