About me and my therapy practice
The heart of my practice is compassionate, holistic care that is collaborative, integrative, and person-centred. Using a person-centred approach means that I put you at the centre of the counselling process. I offer a safe, non-judgemental, confidential place where you can explore what's happening in your life, any blocks or difficulties you are having.
As an integrative counsellor, I use elements of different approaches to help you explore and deal with your problems, I take into account you as an individual and your circumstances. Everyone's different, so what works for one person might not work for another. I aim to collaborate with you to find the right approach for you.
​I offer both short and long term counselling for individuals aged 10 and over. I can offer face to face counselling sessions, I also offer online and telephone counselling.
I work with lots of different people covering issues ranging from stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, personal difficulties and life changes, self esteem and confidence, anger, work-related problems and bereavement. Although there are many other areas in which I can help.
Practice description
I have worked in the mental health sector for several years, with young people and perinatal mental health. I hold a ÌÇÐĹÙÍø accredited diploma in counselling and am studying a BSc in psychology with counselling. I am passionate about supporting individuals through life's challenges, I regularly take part in supervision, training and CPD.
When it comes to finding a counsellor, it can be a daunting experience. I am a friendly, down-to-earth counsellor who offers you a safe, contained space in a relaxed environment to explore what is happening in your life. As we work together, you'll be shown respect, understanding, and patience, so that you can speak freely and openly. I can help you work through issues and challenges that you are facing and help you move forward.
My first session
I do not charge in advance for a set number of consultations, or a course of treatment. I endeavour to help clients feel better when they leave the first consultation, to have homework tasks or activities to complete, and to continue to progress towards their goals between each session. If a client is not progressing I will endeavour to find an alternative and more suitable therapist and/or therapeutic approach.
