About me and my therapy practice
Hello and welcome. I am an integrative counsellor. My committment is to offer you a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard and understood.
My role is to support you, offering warmth, empathy and a gentle challenge to help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed or navigating a difficult period of change, I work with you at your pace, staying true to your values. With ongoing experience working within the NHS and a local bereavement charity, I aim to meet you with empathy and compassion which I believe is a powerful starting point for change.
Practice description
My approach is collaborative and grounded in person-centred therapy, with the therapeutic relationship at the heart of our work together. I offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.
Together, we can reflect on your inner world with compassion and curiosity, helping you develop greater self-awareness, resilience, and understanding. My aim is to support you in navigating life’s challenges, embracing meaningful change, and connecting more fully with your authentic self.
At times, I may gently encourage you to explore deeper and more complex emotional experiences. By gaining insight into the roots of your difficulties and understanding your pain more fully, new perspectives, healing, and lasting change can emerge.
Reaching out for support can take considerable courage, and taking that first step is often the hardest part. If you would like to arrange an initial conversation or learn more about how we might work together, I warmly invite you to get in touch.
My first session
Our first session will be an opportunity to explore your reasons for seeking out therapy in the first place, we will look at your life in context. I believe that you hold the answers to the change that you are seeking and work alongside you at your pace to put the foundations for lasting change in place.
This session is also an opportunity for you to ask me any questions about sessions and how I work and what you can expect from therapy.
We will discuss some administrative issues such as the therapy contract, how my work complies with the ÌÇÐĹÙÍø code of ethics.
