Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Philosophy
Time and trauma can impact our views of self. Negative thoughts can impact our self image and how we look at ourselves. Have you ever heard the demon on your shoulder?
Psychotherapy is a process that helps us understand those concepts and process the cause of these thoughts, clearing out the old views, breaking down the patterns of relating. This allows our true innate nature to shine, so we can fulfil as much of our potential as possible in our lifetime.
Unresolved trauma can keep us stuck in patterns that prevent us from thriving.
Working together, as equals in partnership, we would work through the problems to help you find fulfilment. I would support you to find the answers within by finding the modalities and psycho-education that works for you.
I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.
Carl Jung
Services
The first session would be an assessment. This is needed to understand what you wish to achieve from the sessions, where your difficulties are. It is an opportunity for you to ask questions about therapy and to decide whether you feel you can work with me.
Each session is 50 minutes long and ideally, weekly at the same time and day each week.
I offer an open-ended contract as it's difficult to estimate how many sessions will be required. With regular reviews we can decide together if continuing or coming to an end is the right thing for you.
Cost
Session fees are £55
