Passionate about helping you to overcome the obstacles in your life, helping you to discover your joy and live your life to the full.

Approach:

Emotions and events can seem overwhelming or we can feel stuck and unable to see a way forward. In a counselling session, I will show you some simple and powerful tools that you can use in daily life to help with challenging situations and emotions. We will also look at your core beliefs, for instance “I’m not good enough” or “I’ll never get what I need or want in life” and learn to change them to more supportive beliefs. Using simple mindfulness techniques, we can gain a lot of clarity and the ability to harness our emotional responses in a useful way rather than feeling swamped by them. This allows us to move through life with more ease and joy.

Tailoring a session to your needs, I use a range of proven techniques to support you in your life. Research shows that we hold trauma and negative past experiences as limiting beliefs and in our bodies (somatically) as tension. Mindfulness and somatic therapy have been shown to be helpful in resolving these experiences.

When we get to know our limiting beliefs in a felt way, as well as intellectually, it goes much deeper. We can see how those beliefs have shaped us. We can find out what past experiences created the belief. Perhaps a lack of safety, of love, or our needs weren’t met. Together we can create a felt experience to give you what was missing and to change the belief. To feel ok again. Lasting change begins here.
