There are times in our lives when the challenges we experience can seem overwhelming. We may feel stuck, lonely, hopeless, lost or sad. Life can feel very difficult, and with no sign of relief or source of support in sight. It is at this point when each of us must find our voice and reach out for therapy. It is those first courageous steps which will enable us to see that nothing is insurmountable and be able to move forward in a positive manner. By addressing the psychological and emotional obstacles that is making life difficult for us, we can begin the process of ‘breaking down’ those barriers until we reach a more fulfilling point in our lives. Counselling can help us through providing a safe, secure, confidential, impartial space to explore our feelings and behavioural patterns that might be the causes of distress, therefore facilitating healthy and effective ways of making changes in our lives. Remember! No man/woman is an island. We all need someone at some point.
I am here to help you re-establish the balance in your life enabling you to flourish. By supporting you in restoring and tapping into your inner strength and building up your resilience, so that you can face life’s challenges. I will assist you in learning how to make empowering choices, and to have control over your feelings, actions and relationships, so that you can achieve positive, and hopefully lasting changes. I work in both short, and long term counselling sessions, with people who are seeking help to work through the challenges that are inhibiting their quality of life.

i look forward to working with you

Roda has really helped me to follow all the threads of my life and to begin processing things. She is an active therapist, who listens intently but also pushes you forward and encourages you at the important moments. She has been a real source of support and guidance.

I like that she wants to explore all possibilities not just going with one.

Roda has been instrumental in my journey to improving my mental health. She has provided me with practical advise, boosted my self confidence and imagine. I feel so much better about myself and I’m able to handle problems much better than I did before. As a people pleaser I have now set boundaries in my life, priorities myself and have been able to say no which was very difficult for me to do. I would recommend Roda as she is an amazing listener, non-judgmental and very compassionate.
