  • Andy Says...

    I believe everyone has the ability to overcome the difficulties and uncertainties they are facing in life, but sometimes help is needed to identify their hidden qualities and strengths, and find a path that is right for them. This is where embarking on a journey of self-discovery through counselling can be invaluable to enable healing, insights and growth to take place. I offer a friendly, safe and supportive space for you to talk openly about your thoughts and feelings without being given advice or judged, allowing you to be your authentic self. The counselling I provide is a partnership based on trust, respect and equality and will be taken at a pace that works for you. My approach is to work holistically by exploring the role of the unconscious, how the past may be impacting you in the present and the way the body expresses the mind. I use creative techniques including meditation, dream interpretation, imagery and metaphors to complement traditional talking therapy to help you understand and connect with your true experience
