Psychotherapist & counsellor in Todmorden

We may all find ourselves at points where it makes no sense why we act as we do or where we are powerless over feelings, other people, or beliefs about our place in the world. Talking with a professional who offers a safe confidential space can allow a natural reshaping and reconnecting within our internal world allowing more freedom and energy to engage with living.

I offer confidential talking therapy to adults navigating many different areas including -

Autism and Asperger syndrome
Anxiety, stress and depression
The impact of early difficulties
Meaning and living more freely

I've worked with people to process childhood traumas that had hitherto felt imprisoning, with others we've worked on finding acceptance and meaning with personal identity. Sometimes the work has involved exploring new ways to inhabit important relationships or finding ways to separate from destructive ones. Often the knowledge we need is already in us, the work is about seeking it and bringing it into the light to be known. At other times the pivotal notion is acceptance whilst at others it's a taking on of new perspectives.

There are so many ways to think about what counselling and psychotherapy do that if one perspective isn't suited to you, there's plenty of others to try. Whatever approach we take, at the heart of our work lives a natural and inevitable process where your difficulties can transform into acceptance, greater well-being and growth.
