A Person-Centred Approach to Mental Health
The Person-Centred approach is a style of therapy that draws upon the relationship between the counsellor/psychotherapist and you, the client. The right therapist for you - regardless of the type of practitioner you approach - should be someone you feel able to trust and confide in without feeling judged. Person-centred counsellors seek to offer a warm and nurturing environment where you can be yourself and share whatever feels present for you. I will empathise with you, seek to understand your experience from your point of view, and support you in accepting yourself and growing as a person. The power of being completely open and honest with another human being cannot be underestimated.
At 'In a Space', I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to talk through any issues, overwhelming emotions, low mood, inner conflict, or trauma. I will work with you either on a one-to-one basis or as part of a group to address your unique needs.
I believe that everyone has the potential to change and grow, and I can help you to believe that too.
Relate. Be understood.
Grow.

Why Psychotherapy/Counselling?
"I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become."
Carl Jung
Anxiety
Anxiety can be debilitating and impact all aspects of your life. Psychotherapy can help you understand the roots of your anxiety and loosen its grip on you and your daily life.
Depression
Depression can make it difficult to enjoy life or feel motivated. Psychotherapy can help you identify the root causes of your depression and develop a plan to overcome it.
Relationship Issues
Relationships can be challenging at times and impact your mental health. Psychotherapy can help you navigate difficulties, improve your communication skills, and offer a greater sense of who you are on your own and within the relationship, giving you insight into what is needed for a healthier relationship and how to attain it.
Stress
Stress can leave you feeling overwhelmed and physically unwell. Everyone faces stress at some point in their life, but it doesn't have to control you. Talking things through can reduce your stress levels and improve your overall well-being, to enable you to regain control of your life.
Grief and Loss
Grief and loss can be a painful and isolating experience. Counselling provides an opportunity to process your emotions, find ways to accept and cope with your loss and adapt to life afterwards.
Trauma
Trauma can leave you feeling overwhelmed and/or disconnected. Psychotherapy can help you process your trauma and find ways to move through it.
Self-Esteem
Low self-esteem can impact your relationships, work, overall well-being, and your optimism about your future. Psychotherapy can help you build self-esteem to develop a positive self-image and belief in your own potential.
