How I Support You

I am fully qualified with a First Class Honours degree in Counselling. I am an experienced online therapist and hold specific certificates from the Open University to offer therapy in this way. I work with adults aged 18 and over, offering both short and long-term therapy which can be weekly, fortnightly or monthly to suit your budget. Sessions are booked one at a time and you can end at any time. I am happy to work purely through talking or I am happy to work with you creatively as well if this is something you enjoy and would find useful. I offer a free Zoom 30 minute, no obligation initial consultation. 

HEALTH

Living with a chronic illness, chronic pain, serious illness or the after affects of a serious stroke or heart-attack for example is often life changing and can be accompanied with issues such as anxiety, loss, depression, lowered self-worth, medical trauma, relationship and friendship issues, chronic fatigue, addiction and many others. I work by exploring your trauma with you and joining you and walking with you on your journey to better mental health and towards living as well you can with your condition. I understand, I have my own chronic conditions that I manage each day. If you need to move around during your therapy, need shorter or longer sessions or a medical assistant/carer present to help you, please do contact me, I would be happy to see if I could accommodate your needs.

RELATIONSHIPS

I specialise in helping adult children of narcissistic parent(s) or those with a narcissistic sibling. I also specialise in supporting adult clients who have had past narcissistic or toxic intimate relationships. 

ADDICTION SUPPORT

I am a very experienced addiction counsellor having worked for 10 years at a senior level for a specialist, well known addictions charity and also for many years in private practice. I have previous comprehensive and ongoing training in this area and have trained other professional counsellors to work in this field. 

I offer a free 30 minute initial consultation either by Zoom WhatsApp or telephone call where we can meet each other and you can see if I am the right therapist for you. A very short assessment will be undertaken in this time to help me understand what issues you would potentially like to explore in your therapy. 

If you decide you would like to give some full sessions a go, in your first session we will work together to make sure you feel comfortable and we will get going on exploring an issue of your choice. All full sessions are a full 60 minutes. 

If you have any special requirements to make therapy accessible for you, such as a personal assistant, carer or interpreter being present in your sessions do contact me, I would be happy to explore your needs with you.
