Curious about yourself?
If you have found your way to me, then you most likely have something on your mind or a problem that is troubling you.
Good on you for taking the first brave step towards looking into those concerns.

The Curious Counsellor
Mental Health….. what a tricky topic. I struggled with my mental health for 45 years before seeking help from someone I could trust.
The hardest part in looking for help can be finding someone you can connect with. It takes time to trust someone you don’t know, especially with sharing those parts of yourself that are personal, vulnerable and sometimes scary.
Our connection as people comes way before what my qualifications are. We are social, emotional beings, that need trust between us. Achieving this allows those deeper emotions and thoughts to be expressed freely, without judgment. I’d love to work towards that with you and see what comes of it.
So, what can I offer you?
The space and time to allow you to have an honest and open conversation with no judgement, about whatever is on your mind.
If you are angry, you can be angry. If you are sad, you can be sad. If you are not sure what it is, then we can start there too.
The way I try to explain it is: If you have an issue you are trying to figure out, then you are using your own thoughts and feelings to try and solve your own issue. But these thoughts and feelings may be coming from a potentially misguided or unhelpful place. Sometimes, you may not be your best helper. I’d like to be that extra person to help you work through those thoughts. Clearer insight, deeper understanding, and a compassionate enquirer, to hear what it has been like for you.
