Welcome
At SeeChange therapy I aim to foster an environment of genuine empathy and support, where individuals feel valued and empowered to make the changes they wish to see in their lives.
Counsellors don't diagnose or label you, the priority is to listen and understand your story and experience, to work with you to explore the best ways to understand and resolve the issues you are facing.
Counselling can provide precious time where you are given the opportunity to be heard and respected and receive the focused attention of a caring and qualified professional.
I have found that there is a deceptive simplicity in counselling that allows the truth of an interaction to come into focus and make a profound difference to the life of both the client and often, the counsellor as well. It is a great privilege to witness and travel with someone as they face their fears, dilemmas and challenges.
Thank you for taking the time to consider sharing your journey with me.
