I have 18 years experience of working in this field. My philosophy is that we all can experience difficulites in life. However, sometimes these problems are more to the fore and create a feeling of being out of control or depression or the like. Counselling & psychotherapy is a means to alleviate symptoms and develop inner capacities and resources that allow for a richer, more meaningful and fulfilling life. I believe that counselling & psychotherapy is an opportunity to wonder about whats going on? who am I? and find ways of seeing life differently.
