About me and my therapy practice
I understand we have all travelled a different journey to get us to where we are today. In taking the first steps into counselling I will be with you to help you understand where you have been, how you got there and the direction you want to continue on.
I am an integrative counsellor and truly believe every single one of us is unique. We are all born with the ability to lead full lives but I understand we can get stuck in our journey and sometimes find it hard to get going again. I will help you explore how and why you have become stuck, what is keeping you there and new ways of helping you with life’s challenges.
I have supported clients with a range of issues including domestic abuse, narcissistic relationships, anxiety, self-esteem, unhelpful thinking patterns and relationship breakdowns. I have also completed training with CRUSE Bereavement Care and have supported clients who are grieving.
With the belief we all have the internal resources for change I will work with you, at your pace, and use a range of counselling techniques to help you explore your journey and reach your goals.
I understand the uniqueness of each couple's circumstances and will work with you to meet your needs. I will help you explore your issues and gain insight in a non-judgemental space. Through this therapy process, you will have the opportunity to explore new ways of communication and conflict resolution
Practice description
I am an integrative counsellor and truly believe we are all unique and need different things at different times in our lives. I am able to integrate CBT, psychodynamic, person centred and mindfulness approaches and techniques to help you understand your journey and enhance your mental wellbeing. I will offer you a warm and understanding approach as my practice is based on authenticity and acceptance. This will help create a safe space for you to talk and allow us to embark on the counselling journey together.
I provide for both short and long term counselling, depending on your need, and work on a one to one basis with adults and adolescents. I offer couples therapy to help couples find new ways of communication and explore resolutions to conflict. I can offer face to face or telephone counselling depending on your circumstances.
My first session
Therapy for some may feel initially daunting but I offer a welcoming 15 minute free telephone consultation to see if we are a good match. It's an opportunity to discuss briefly what may be going on for you and answer any questions you may have of the therapy process. If my availability or skills do not match then I'm also more than happy to make recommendations
