Why I Do What I Do?
“
I have always had a real interest in people and human behaviours, as well as a natural curiosity as to where behaviours come from, how they have manifested and why we often continue to behave in certain ways.
What I also noticed from quite an early age is that many people commented on how I was a good listener, allowing people time and space to speak and be heard without always having to give comments back, a compassionate ear.
HOWEVER,
when asked for my opinion I was able to often offer my observations and thoughts without judgement, which often appeared to be quite helpful….so I was told.
I also noticed that I really enjoyed listening to people’s stories, which I could often relate to and empathise with, even if their direct experiences of life weren’t exactly the same as mine.
Moreover, I felt privileged and honoured that people would share their stories with me. Therefore, it seemed a natural process to make this my life’s work. I held a few different positions in the workplace of listening and helping but eventually, I decided to train professionally as a creative arts psychotherapist.
I have been fully qualified as a drama therapist (this does not mean we have to do drama or act don’t worry) as life is drama, but you can choose what drama fills your life.
More recently I have trained in levels 1 and 2 of Dyadic developmental psychotherapy (DDP), and I am currently undertaking the last aspect of training to become a fully qualified DDP therapist.
Within my work, I bring all the qualities I would like to receive, relational warmth, compassion, a non-judgmental approach, a good listener and a sense of optimism, joy and hope and a sense of feeling understood.
I AM FULLY AWARE
that taking the first step to come to therapy or see a therapist can feel scary and even overwhelming for some people, and that is totally understandable to me. So what I offer is a safe space and time for you to move at your own pace to discover and recover from whatever it is you need to, for you.
