Eve Wigington

Welcome. I recognise how life can be incredibly stressful and challenging at times, and you may have difficulty coping with overwhelming feelings. Perhaps you feel angry, misunderstood, sad, or without purpose. Or something needs to change in your life, but you do not know where to begin.

As a mature counsellor with lived experience of relational and emotional difficulties, I have benefited from receiving therapy and completely trust in its process. This trust inspired me to become a counsellor, drives my commitment to you and facilitating you to become the best version of yourself.

My Practice and the Way I Work.

Our therapeutic relationship is key to effective therapy, and trust and openness is essential. I will always be honest and open with you. It is your space to share and explore whatever you want and know your unique lived experience will be valued and respected. By exploring and working collaboratively in an emotionally safe environment of compassion and empathy, I believe you can bring about positive changes to your life. The focus of therapy is solely on you, and my non-judgemental environment allows you complete freedom to explore, express, and deepen your understanding of yourself and your past and present experiences.

This method will help us deepen our connection and allow for the vulnerability and depth of emotional exploration that often accompany therapy.
