About me and my therapy practice
Hi, if you are currently reading this my sense is that you may be overwhelmed by the vast number of therapists available on this website. I recall myself thinking how do I know which therapist to choose all those years ago when I began my own therapy journey. This also triggered my own thoughts as to why would someone want to choose me over another therapist, my thoughts left me thinking the following, I am unique and have my own ways of working and building trust and a safe therapeutic relationship with you and as long as you are willing to go on this journey then you will find the person best suited to you.
I am a BACP registered Person Centred counsellor, which means in essence that I will always be led by what you want to bring to our sessions and I will hopefully encourage and enable you to explore and understand yourself and work towards self awareness and acceptance.
I can offer you a safe space where hopefully you will feel heard, listened to, not judged and I will always offer my authentic self in every session.
I hope you find what you are searching for and will end by sharing my most favourite phrase that one of my first tutors shared with me which is ''Trust the process''.
Although I am only working currently with over 18's the reason for this is I am also a counsellor in a Secondary school working 4 days a week Term times.
My experience and skill set of working and understanding young people is able to support my work with adults. I also have extensive experience of working with clients with Autism and ADHD.
Practice description
Currently I am only offering ONLINE sessions. When you first get in contact with me I am happy to offer an initial telephone call which will allow you to ask any questions and I will go over my contract. I am flexible in terms of number of sessions.
As I mentioned my training is in Person Centred Counselling but I do occasionally use a more integrative approach and tap into other models and approaches often dependent on the individual I am working with.
I began my training working with Children in a primary school setting so used a lot of play therapy as well. It is important to add that I also have a lot of experience working with Neurodivergent clients.
As said I have worked with a wide range of clients but more recently my experience has led me to to work a lot with anxiety, depression, anger, self harming, addictions, bereavement, suicidal ideation, gender dysphoria, eating disorders, trauma and domestic violence.
I regularly attend training and CPD and believe I can never stop growing personally and professionally.
I want to add here as well that I am always mindful that every person is a unique individual who tells their own story and no two sessions may be the same so again I will go with what you want to bring.
I want to add that currently my approach is not pre trial therapy appropriate.
My first session
As mentioned above I offer an initial telephone call to enable you to ask any questions and find out if I may be the best fit counsellor for you. I will then introduce the contract and go over my T&C's in that call too. I will then send you out my counselling contract which you will need to read, fill in and sign before we have our first session.
