“Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health.” - Bessel van der Kolk
"We can mistake the need to change as becoming someone new, when in fact it's about finding the authentic you again. The version of you who was always there, the version that can just be, play, that can relinquish the burdens placed there by others"
A brief introduction...
Hi, I'm Tony and I offer one-to-one counselling sessions to people who need a confidential space to explore their experiences and to find a path forward that feels better for them.
I'm an integrative therapist which means I bring a range of different counselling theories and practices into every session and use these to support you when we work together. This means we can adjust the process to suit you and your specific needs. It's my role to make this as safe a space as I can for you to share your experience using methods that work best for you.
I’m aware that getting through that door isn’t easy. Some people can take weeks, months, even years of thinking about this before booking in with a counsellor.
People come for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes it’s just a feeling that something isn’t quite right and a desire to do something about that. Other times it’s realising that we’ve hit the limits of our own resilience and need some time and support to understand how we got here, and how to get back to ourselves. Others come with the goal of just understanding themselves better, and to answer questions about how they show up in the world.
Whatever your reason, you deserve a safe, confidential space to do it; a place of curiosity not judgement; a place to share and honour your story.
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” - Viktor Frankl
