About me and my therapy practice
I am an experienced, kind, compassionate, patient, and relatable therapist, with an intuitive and trauma informed approach to therapy. I have been passionate about supporting others to improve their mental health and wellbeing since qualifying as a Holistic Therapist back in 1998. I will always provide my clients with a safe, empathic, caring, non-judgemental space where they can begin to explore any aspects of their life that are troubling them.
Since qualifying as a person-centred counsellor, I would now describe my approach as integrative, and always holistically tailored to my client’s needs.
Practice description
Over the past 10 years I have provided counselling for Leicester Women’s Counselling Centre, and First Step - who support male survivors of sexual abuse and rape. I currently provide short term counselling and emotional support to university students, so understand the specific difficulties this client group may be experiencing. I have vast experience of working with anxiety, depression, issues relating to abusive relationships, sexual abuse/rape, and complex trauma. I regularly attend CPD workshops and specialised training in order to support and enhance my practice. More recently I have completed some specific training which has enhanced my understanding of working therapeutically with neurodiversity.
My first session
A comprehensive assessment will be carried out on the first appointment allowing us to decide together if it is appropriate for the sessions to continue. The assessment appointment can last anywhere between 30 minutes and 1 hour, and the standard fee for this is £30.00.
Please note: assessment appointments must be paid for in advance, and are non-refundable if you are unable to to attend.
