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 within our internal world allowing more freedom and energy to live.

I have a specialist interest in autism and Asperger's - this includes finding ways to live more peacefully, acceptance of your unique self, addressing anxiety, depression and stress.

I've worked with people to find ways to reframe painful histories and find acceptance of their selves. Sometimes the work has involved exploring new ways to be in relationships or finding ways to separate from destructive ones. At times the pivotal notion is acceptance whilst at others it's a taking on of new perspectives. : often the knowledge we need is already in us, the work is about seeking it and bringing it into the light to be known.

There are so many ways to think about the struggles we face that if one perspective isn't suited to you, there's 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.
