About me and my therapy practice
I offer a safe, confidential and professional space for you to explore any personal issues that are affecting your quality of life. I have been trained in integrative Counselling so I use a variety of techniques to tailor the Therapy to suit each individual client. I also have a lot of experience of working with clients with a wide range of issues from working within G.P's surgeries in the NHS. I have worked with clients both short and long term, from a single session to many months so I will cater the work to your needs.
At the core of my way of working is the belief in the client’s ability to take control of their situation through understanding themselves and their past. This is done by making Connection to the different parts of body, mind, emotion and soul to become more whole and accepting of who we are as human beings. The intention being that you gain some control over yourself and your situation, and become equipped with tools and strategies for dealing with challenging life situations
I am very aware of the relationship between body and mind and how things like diet and exercise can be an important part of an individual’s well being. I enjoy exploring any spiritual beliefs and finding and making meaning and purpose in life. I also try to help clients identify what their needs are and how they can meet them by offering them the opportunity to explore their own innate creativity and rediscover a sense of joy and playfulness in life.
Practice description
I am guided in my work by the BACP's ethical framework and my own humanistic principles. I am respectful of all faiths and spiritual beliefs and celebrate diversity. I really enjoy building relationships with clients based on trust and respect that offer them the chance to grow and become more at ease with themselves. In practice I would try to help you to gain a new perspective on things using the different therapeutic techniques that have been proven to be most effective. I have also undertaken many courses to update and improve my skills and knowledge as a Counsellor.Having worked with many clients in a time restricted service I have honed my skills to identify the major issues affecting a clients well being, and focus the work on empowering the client to be an active participant in their therapy. I believe that everyone has the potential to be happy and they deserve it. I have a great love of music, art and the natural world and an interest in sport, science and technology. As well as being a Counsellor I am a curious human being and although I don't claim to have all the answers, I have some knowledge of life gained through experience and I use that to help others wherever possible.
You have taken the first step in your process of self discovery by seeking out a therapist to help you make sense of your issues. If you choose me to work with I'd support you on that journey wherever it takes you, and try to help you work through any difficulties that arise.
My first session
In my first session I will be contracting with the client and discussing the issue(s) they wish to work on. We might discuss any goals the client may wish to set and what they would like to get from the session(s). We would also discuss things like number of sessions required, frequency of sessions, how to book and payment.
