About me and my therapy practice

By offering an integrative approach to counselling I will tailor your therapy experience to your emotional needs and concerns rather than trying to fit you into a particular type of therapy. In my practice I work with people who are experiencing a variety of issues such as anxiety and depression, bereavement, relationship and health related concerns. My aim is to always take into account my client’s needs and wishes in order to create and maintain a meaningful and trusting relationship. In our work I will listen with empathy, understanding and without judgement. My clients explore their feelings and issues in a safe and supportive environment to reach a positive resolution. I have successfully provided counselling to clients in the NHS and in the community sector and have specific experience of working with adults (16+) who have experienced loss of employment, alcohol and drug dependency, men and women who have suffered historic abuse and people experiencing suicidal thoughts. During our initial consultation, either face-to-face or by telephone, you will have time to speak about your concerns, ask questions and discuss your expectations and specific needs.
