THE
EVOLVING  SELF

Counselling and Psychotherapy

A warm welcome to my counselling and psychotherapy service, where I offer weekly short-term and long-term online talking therapy to individual adults living within the United Kingdom.


The process of therapy can be invaluable. It can give you insight into your past and present experiences and provide a space to feel heard and seen. It can allow you to understand who you are and feel empowered to make changes to live the life you want within a supportive environment. It is an experience that can be challenging and uncomfortable at first, but ultimately a profound one that can lead to healing and transformation.


I am a firm believer in the school of life. I believe that we can learn and grow from the circumstances we encounter within our life journey. That as human beings, we can evolve into the wholeness present at our core. However, this is not achieved by beating ourselves up for being imperfect, but rather in a way that is compassionate and grounded in our humanity.


This evolving process is an invitation rather than a critical "should" that dictates how we live. It means allowing space for us to step into with more understanding and open curiosity about what may lay beyond what we have known and experienced so far.


I work in a relational approach and value meeting each client as an individual. I provide a safe space where I can support your growth and empowerment through choice. Please feel free to browse through my website and schedule a consultation; where we can explore what is going on for you and how I can assist you.

How therapy can help


Depression

Depression is a complex disorder that can interfere with concentration, appetite, and sleep patterns; and more severe cases can seriously disrupt a person’s life.


From seasonal affective disorder to bipolar disorder and major depression, therapy can provide an effective intervention (at times alongside medication).



Anxiety and persistent negative thoughts

Do your negative emotions sometimes threaten to overwhelm you? 


You don’t have to allow depressing, negative thoughts to shape your life. The structure of your brain is constantly changing and can be trained to help you regulate and limit negative emotions. Through the development of self-awareness and mindfulness therapy, your brain can change its functional connectivity, replacing those negative images with positive thoughts of optimism and loving-kindness.




Relational issues

At the core of therapy is the relationship between the client and therapist.


The therapeutic relationship can provide clarity and insight into your interpersonal relationships and how you function in them, allowing for repairs to occur and the development of healthier boundaries and communication styles – be it within family dynamics, relationships with colleagues, friends or romantic partners.



Trauma and PTSD

Trauma is the result of extraordinarily stressful events that shatter your sense of security. Any situation that leaves you feeling overwhelmed and isolated can result in trauma, even if it doesn’t involve physical harm. It can be from one-time events, such as an accident, injury, or a violent attack. Or from ongoing, relentless stress as a result of experiencing traumatic events that occur repeatedly, such as bullying, domestic violence, or childhood neglect.


Through gentle explorative and reflective processes, therapy can be a means to understand and heal such trauma.
