"It is a joy to be hidden, and disaster not to be found"
Donald Winnicott

At first, when you read this sentence, you may wonder what it could mean? Do you remember the old game hide and seek? 


That joyful feeling of hiding and then anticipation of waiting to be found. It was thrilling! However, if you stayed there alone and no-one found you, the game is almost over and you still haven't been found. 

The loneliness and experience of not 'being found' can be  uncomfortable for many people. You might find yourself waiting for that   moment to be seen, understood and joyfully connected with others again. Perhaps you are visiting this website with a hope to find someone who could listen to you effectively and in a way that you will feel heard, listened and respected. 


I truly believe that one of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another person has to say with the attention to that person's feelings, thoughts and life experiences. Perhaps you have struggled in the past or you are struggling with something at the moment, maybe you feel you haven’t been able to live your life as you would have liked, free of judgement and accepted for who you are?
 
In addition you might be looking for someone who will be by your side to enable you to feel comfortable exploring your life in a non- judgemental and safe environment and supporting you to look at any aspects of yourself which may be preventing you to find your full potential and happiness?

I have worked successfully with many clients who have a range of different needs; this includes, but is not limited to, relationships difficulties, loss, and bereavement. I have also successfully aided clients in exploring their childhood trauma and how that has affected them in their adult lives, in particular, suffering with anxiety and/or depression. 

As humans, we express a desire to be seen, heard and truly understood. Without this basic respect and understanding, a person can    experience insecurity, self-doubt, low self-esteem and struggle to maintain healthy relationships. 


If this resonates with you in some way, therapy can be the first step in helping you to heal.


I would like to reassure you that there are multiple opportunities all around you, in your daily life, to make a potentially big difference simply by engaging with your feelings, emotions and thoughts in a meaningful way. 
I see you. 
I hear you.
