About Creative Change Counselling
Empowerment. Care. Support. Healing.
Welcome to my page. I am glad you have found me!
If you find yourself struggling and don't quite know what to do with what you are going through, Counselling may be helpful. We will work together to explore what is happening for you through your eyes and I will support you with care and compassion at a pace that works for you. You may have a specific goal you want to work towards or it may be that you are feeling overwhelmed by what is happening and want that feeling to go. You may feel isolated with what you are going through or like no one understands you. Whatever it is that has led you to seek and consider counselling, you have reached out and that is a huge step. Take your time to read through what I can offer and how I work and please do ask any questions you might have by emailing me.
I am an experienced Psychotherapist and Counsellor who looks to empower individuals to overcome traumatic memories, distressing emotions and experiences, navigate through life's struggles, and find more peace within themselves. I am passionate about breaking down barriers to Counselling and Health and making the services I offer as accessible and holistic as possible. My approach as a Psychotherapist meets you where you are, working together in a way that works for you. I see you as an expert on yourself and I work with you as a whole person, encompassing all your parts that make you, YOU! My approach combines various therapeutic modalities which may include Walk and Talk Therapy, Ecotherapy, and Creative therapy, to support your therapeutic journey.
