I’m now offering in-person counselling in the centre of Ayr.
When we bear things alone, it can be difficult to feel change is possible. Talking about it can open up new possibilities.
I am a higher accredited practitioner and I’ve helped people with emotional suffering since 2020.
People try therapy for many reasons, and not all of them have a name. Sometimes, it’s just because your usual way of life seems to have stopped working, or maybe a question about your place in the world has grown too pressing to ignore. I have helped people with problems like depression, anxiety or addiction, but I will welcome whatever you bring, be it grief, rage, longing or despair.
My style of counselling & psychotherapy is conversational, and I offer you a private, steady and reliable place which helps approach even difficult topics over time.
If you think being in therapy for a while could be beneficial, I usually suggest we book a first appointment to talk about what brings you here. Send me an email at gdconnect@tutanota.com

*Coming to Therapy*

You can come to therapy knowing you want something to change but without a clear sense of how. Maybe you know you *don’t* want to keep living through certain things but, as yet, that future has no new shape.

During our time together, we can begin to talk about your life so far, and sometimes this can mean choosing to express your side of events when that has not been possible before.

In relationships with family, friends, colleagues or partners, what has happened on the outside my not always have reflected what it meant to you personally. In therapy, there is this chance to bring hidden experiences into the story that has usually been told. By doing so, the story may change, but not so anything is lost - rather, in a way that enriches it and makes it more your own.

Something about having regular sessions, which feel consistent and that you can rely on being there, often helps these truths to enter your lived world of experience, so it can become a place where greater possibilities exist.

When this occurs, you can start finding ways to relate to people and situations that are freer of old, repeating patterns. With a fuller picture available, the past may seem fresher and your future more like it belongs to you.

When the time comes, therapy may conclude, or move into new areas you hope to work on.
