I am currently seeing clients from my therapy practice room in Plymouth. I also offer online face to face sessions across the United Kingdom.
About me and my therapy practice
I have myself experienced many of life's ups and down's and I have also made mistakes along the way, I accept my imperfection which makes me approachable, down to earth, warm and non-judgemental. As a therapist I work intuitively; with compassion and humanness.
I will often ask questions so that I can understand fully what it is like to be you, this allows me to imagine how it feels to walk in your shoes. It might be that we at times explore the background to any struggles you are facing or feelings you have, so that you can gain understanding of what might be affecting you from your past, and therefore make the connection to how it is impacting on your life in the here and now. This awareness will allow you to talk about any feelings attached to concerns or painful events and creates the opportunity for you to choose a different way of being and seeing things in the future.
I also offer a safe space for personal development. Some of my clients come wishing to develop a greater self-confidence and connection. They find understanding of their own responses to certain situations which in turn allows them to move forwards more effectively in life with greater levels of happiness and connectivity.
Practice description
You will find that the therapeutic relationship you experience with your counsellor is like no other relationship you will have in your life. I believe Wholeheartedly that it is the deepening of trust within the therapeutic relationship as it develops between my clients and I, that is the key to the change they want to experience in themselves, their relationships and their Live's. Within the safety of this therapeutic relationship is a space which enables my clients to trust in their own abilities to develop self-awareness to process, reflect, feel and connect to who they are, who they were, and who they would like to be.As an Integrative Therapist, I trained in a number of different therapeutic modalities and will combine these in a way that best suits my clients’ needs. I follow the thought process that each of my clients are unique and there is there’s no ‘one size fits all’. In therapy, what works for one client may not necessarily work for another.
My first session
I offer a free initial consultation and assessment session which would normally be online or by telephone, this allows us to discuss your expectations for your therapy journey, how I will work with you, and I can answer any questions you might have, if you feel that I am the right counsellor for you, we will arrange the first session, this usually takes around 30mins.
