      <image:caption>Talking is a powerful tool that makes a real difference. I can help you talk through the issues you face and help you move forward. We will work together to get you to whatever your goal is, whether that’s being happier, finding meaning, being healthier, or just coping with life better. Starting counselling can be daunting. In sessions I will always be accepting and professional, making sure you feel safe at all times. I work with a collaborative and relational approach, meaning our sessions will be conversational and should feel like teamwork. I have worked with a broad spectrum of presenting issues and difficulties, and I am able to help you understand your difficulties, accept what you can’t change and make key changes where you can. I will always be reassuring and friendly, but I’ll also challenge you when it’s appropriate. I won’t ever rush you in our work but I also won’t let the sessions drift by without us moving forward. We will regularly check in with our progress together which is an important part of therapy. My clients really benefit from working with me, and I hope this will be the case for you if you choose to go ahead.</image:caption>
