ÌÇÐĹÙÍø

I am an integrative counsellor combining person-centered, CBT and some DBT skills in to my practice, adapting to meet your needs.

I offer a warm, safe, non-judgemental space where together we can explore and reflect on the issues/difficulties you may be experiencing. 

My counselling experience covers (but is not limited to) working with anxiety, anger issues, depression, stress, loss/bereavement, bullying, illness, low in confidence/self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, self-harm and couples/relationship issues.

I have volunteered and worked for a charity, specialising in sexual violence and offered counselling to victims/survivors of sexual violence, including child sexual abuse, rape as an adult, sexual assault, sexual harassment at work and extreme abuse. Also providing counselling to the family, friends and partners of the victims/survivors.

Previously I volunteered as a counsellor for Prescribed Medication Support Service (PMSS) which is part of the NHS. PMSS offer counselling to those on medication and who may be looking to reduce or come off their prescriptions.

I am a registered member of the ÌÇÐĹÙÍø (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and work within their Ethical Framework. 

I have been counselling for a little over 10 years. 

My qualifications were achieved with Coleg Harlech, based in North Wales.

Counselling can be to help you work through a specific issue or it can be that you may simply feel the need to talk to someone who will listen.

Counselling can provide you with an opportunity to gain insight into your present situation, feelings and behaviour. It can help in exploring strategies for working through the problems you are experiencing. Also, counselling can help with grounding/coping techniques for managing everyday life.

The process allows you to talk about your feelings or concerns within an empathic, confidential and supportive environment.

This is the first step of taking control and reaching out for the support you need. 

Counselling can help you start to take small steps to be able to make positive changes in your life.

The first session gives you the opportunity to meet me and talk about what has brought you to counselling. We can discuss how best to work together, exploring what you want to achieve and looking at what your expectations are of counselling. 

My working days are Monday to Thursday.

I work as a supervisor using the Seven-Eyed Model of supervision, supporting a holistic exploration of client work. This includes attention to the therapeutic relationship, interventions, wider context, and the personal impact of the work on you as the practitioner.

My approach emphasises reflective practice, creating a collaborative space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and responses within sessions. Together, we can think through complex cases, deepen your self-awareness, and develop your therapeutic skills and confidence.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on person-centred, CBT, and TF-CBT approaches, and I bring this flexibility into supervision, adapting to your way of working and the needs of your clients.

I supervise qualified counsellors working with individual adults, couples, and children. 

I offer supervision for counsellors working with a range of issues, including abuse, anger, anxiety, panic attacks, complex trauma (C-PTSD), relationship difficulties, stress, suicidal ideation, and trauma.

My approach is grounded in the Seven-Eyed Model, supporting a holistic exploration of your client work. This includes the therapeutic relationship, interventions, wider context, and the personal impact of the work on you as the practitioner. I aim to provide a reflective, supportive and collaborative space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and responses openly.

I offer supervision face-to-face, online via Zoom, or a combination of both.

I offer a free 30-minute introductory session (face-to-face, Zoom or telephone) to discuss your needs and see if we feel comfortable working together.
