​"Empathy is a language the blind can see and the deaf can hear" 

Hello and welcome.

If you have reached my page I understand that there may be a part of yourself that feels uncomfortable, unmanageable and perhaps a bit scared today. But you are here and these are your first steps to recovery and true self-care.

"These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them." Rumi

I want to speak from the ‘I’ position instead of saying ‘You’, because there is a good chance I have been where you are.

Although everyone is unique in their experience – I have been in some dark emotional places and I also know that I can go there again because life is not an easy straight line of 'okayness'.

I can potentially step into difficulty again because it’s part of the journey of life and what the universe throws at me. I’ll just be better armoured because of the work I have done on myself and the time I have invested in working through my ‘stuff’ enabling me to glean self-acceptance and empowerment through voicing my trauma and understanding it with the help of another.

Everybody deserves to be listened to in a non-confrontational, non-judgemental way and that’s what I will provide you with; a safe and comfortable space to talk and to be heard.

Sometimes this will not be easy but we’ll work with that, because therapy can be uncomfortable and deeply emotive, but you will always be in a boundaried, safe space in order to be yourself. I will move with you at your pace.

We will work together and I will be guided by your needs. How does this sound to you?
