The purpose of therapy is to support change and growth. I will invite you talk about your issues and encourage you to explore your feelings and thoughts. The work can be difficult at times, as often the answers lie in the places we try to avoid. I am empathetic and supportive, and will never force you to talk about something you don't want to. The sessions are essentially yours, and you have control over how they go. I will use my skills to guide and encourage, but will never direct you.

When we are working with grief or trauma, I will provide a safe space for you to process your emotions in a therapeutic way. Safety is my priority, and I will usually suggest we do some simple grounding exercises at the end of a session to make sure you feel in a good place when you leave. 

In couples therapy I will witness and guide you through disagreements, acting as a mediator to ensure you both get equal opportunity to talk, be heard and understood.
