About me and my therapy practice
My therapy is entirely remote, either via telephone or Zoom sessions, on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8am until 7pm. Many clients find these methods just as helpful as face-to-face work and in fact appreciate the flexibility it offers.
Since I qualified as a counsellor/psychotherapist in 2010 after training at the Iron Mill college in Exeter I have worked with hundreds of people in various therapeutic settings. They have in common a struggle with emotional difficulties, either because of recent challenging issues or stemming from painful experiences from a long time ago.
Clients tell me that they appreciate my warm, honest approach which helps them to feel genuinely heard. A safe therapeutic space allows us to speak in depth, openly and candidly, to help you find the personal insight and clarity of mind necessary to heal and move forward. Self-compassion is a huge part of this process and something I encourage everyone to nurture within themselves.
As a counsellor and psychotherapist I will not tell you what to do, your decisions are your own. I will however provide an energetic space for us to reflect on the choices you have so that you can navigate your way ahead. My work also involves a variety of creative approaches you may wish to focus on, in order to explore your sense of self and how to live with more contentment.
I look forward to hearing from you.
