How I work
"To describe something whilst being deeply heard, changes that which is being described" ~Ernesto Spinelli
After initial introductions and listening to you explain your situation, I might at times bring our attention to how you are feeling in the moment so we might explore some more self-awareness and curiosity.
Or we might review any themes unravelling, whilst checking these resonate with your lived experience.
My intention is for you to feel empowered to work through what is happening, moving forward in a way that serves you. This helps me so we can work together step-by-step; enabling you to find more clarity and understanding on the choices available to you. I also like to explore and acknowledge the unique situation you are in, in your relationships, social group, family and cultural influences. All of these play a part within your journey. Additionally, we can explore where you have come from on your path, and how you experience and see the world. Much like the sails on a boat; navigating all the weather around it, I am alongside you on that journey of gently unpacking it all, as our relationship develops in your own time.
Research tells us the most important feature of successful therapy is the relationship. I understand first-hand from being a client myself how important it is to feel safely held in a non-judgemental space to express those deeper concerns. I offer the same which is why it is important to me that you feel we are a ‘right fit’. Not every counsellor is right for every client, and although it may naturally take time to build trust; my intention is for you to feel comfortable in a warm, friendly and confidential alliance as we work through things together as two human beings in a room. In addition, although every client teaches me and informs my experience as a therapist; how I work with you will not be the same as any other client; I tailor my experiences and understanding to respond and work with your individual needs, session-to-session.
