About me and my therapy practice

I am an integrative counsellor which means I use a range of therapies tailored to meet individual needs. I address a variety of client issues to help people identify the causes of problems; reduce symptoms; advance self-understanding; improve relationships and live more fully. I am compassionate and dedicated in supporting you to make changes and at the same time accept and value yourself. I offer an open, honest, non-judgmental approach, which allows expression and exploration. I will listen and help you to understand how past experiences, concerns about the future or issues surrounding self-confidence may affect your life now. Together we can reflect on how you respond to events in your life and begin to explore the way that you relate to yourself and others. I have years of experience counselling Individuals and couples from different backgrounds and cultures, and dealing with the particular concerns they face. My experience includes 4 years working as a High Intensity Counsellor within Step 3 of the Step Care Model within the NHS Psychological Therapy Service and 5 years as a mentor, facilitating clients to overcome anxiety and build confidence to achieve their goals. In addition, I worked as a school Counsellor and Psychotherapist. My specialist experience is in Depression; Anxiety; Relationship Problems; Anger; Abuse; Pain Management; Self Esteem and Personal Development. I continue my professional development in supporting clients with a wide range of issues.
