I currently have limited availability for new clients. I can offer a free 20 minute consultation to see if you would like to work together. 

How can counselling help you?

Speaking about and processing your emotions and difficulties is highly effective in boosting one’s overall sense of wellbeing. You really don’t have to struggle alone - there is still a great deal of stigma around mental health in society, but positive health (including mental health) is a basic right owed to each and every person on this planet. So if you’re curious about how life could be improved with some support, get in touch today.

What problems can I support you with?

Whether you’ve been feeling stressed, anxious, depressed or having difficulty with relationships, therapeutic counselling can provide a confidential, non-judgmental and caring space for you to explore your feelings and your present situation. Perhaps you simply want to get to know yourself a little better by looking at past experience. Uplift Therapeutic Counselling can help you.

Together we’ll navigate your journey and aim to get to the root of what you’ve been struggling with. I’ll help you to identify healthy coping skills which work for you and support you in bolstering your emotional resilience to deal with the obstacles life inevitably deals to all of us.

My approach

I offer individual therapeutic counselling. I can provide both long-term and short-term support, depending on your circumstances, needs and wishes. I am currently available on Fridays during the day and evenings Monday – Thursday. I encourage you to enquire about booking a consultation to discuss further about how we would work together.

I tailor the service for each individual - and in sessions, I take an integrative and relational approach. This means that I integrate various modalities of counselling, with the focus of the work being the non-judgmental working relationship we develop.

Our sessions will be a space for you speak to me about what you choose to bring, and we will work together to help you set your own goals that in the long-run will leave you feeling happier and better wellbeing overall.

In our first session, we will go through the working agreement for our sessions – and from there we can explore what brings you to counselling and identify whether you would like to have further sessions together. The first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another and see whether we will be a good fit. 

The relationship you have with your therapist is central to the therapeutic change that takes place, and it is important that you feel comfortable with the therapist you choose. I look forward to meeting you and seeing if together, we can help you to overcome your challenges and achieve your goals.
