About me and my therapy practice
Many people get to a stage in their life when they feel the need to deal with issues they may have been carrying around with them for some years, with no idea where, how or who to ask for help.
Counselling and Psychotherapy gives you the opportunity to talk about what is troubling you, to explore the reasons you don't seem able to make changes and move on to a more satisfying and rewarding way of living.
Talking and working with a qualified and experienced counsellor/psychotherapist can help you feel heard and understood, release bottled up feelings, explore choices and solutions and feel better about yourself.
I do not believe there is a typical person or client, only that there are people who are in distress, and are searching for help. I believe that "the relationship" between client and counsellor is at the heart of the work that I do, and it is this relationship that ultimately heals and promotes most growth and well being in a client.
My approach is Person Centred and Integrative, as I believe that no one approach fits all. With over 15 years experience I draw on a variety of theoretical and creative methods and models to suit each individual client.
My specialisms include but are not limited to Abuse in all its forms, Bereavement, PTSD and Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Relationships, Adoption (I am an an Approved Counsellor registered to provide Adoption Support Services through Barnardo's), I also hold and enhanced DBS.
