About me and my therapy practice
I am a registered psychotherapeutic counsellor working with adults and young people over 16. I work from my welcoming practice room in North Shields.
My approach is steady, compassionate and non-judgemental. I will work alongside you in a spirit of mutual curiosity, helping you make sense of your experiences and move towards meaningful change. I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs, drawing from a range of therapeutic models and perspectives to support you in the most helpful way possible.
Practice description
Through the therapeutic relationship we create, I will work with you to understand your concerns. Together we will explore what is going on for you, using a range of approaches. If you would like, these can include somatic work, creative interventions and psychoeducation, as well as talk therapy.
For many years I have worked within education and my counselling experience has included work with teachers, parents and children in school settings. In addition to my in-depth training, I specialise in supporting new grandparents or parents. Those experiencing divorce or family tensions. Also those working in education.
Whatever concerns you bring, be assured we will work collaboratively, in a spirit of mutual curiosity, to explore what is going on for you and why that might be.
