About me and my therapy practice
I am an integrative, person centred counsellor and have worked with people for over 15 years.
I specialise in anxiety, stress and trauma, using a range of models designed to address trauma in mental health conditions such as PTSD, C-PTSD, OCD and other anxiety related disorders, such as solution-focused NLP, imagery, inner child, Transactional Analysis (TA) and other theories designed to help you work through trauma and unprocessed memories.
I am solution-focused whilst working at your pace.
Counselling is a personal experience and if you have a consultation with me, you will decide if I am the therapist for you.
In the FREE consultation I will decide the best way to work with you based on your needs and explain what to expect. I am completely transparent and open to whatever you bring to counselling.
I work online and face to face.
Please book in by clicking the link on my website home page "book your free consultation" and I look forward to meeting you and working with you very soon.
Practice description
I am a person centred counsellor, specialising in anxiety, stress and trauma, using an integrative model to fit your needs.
You are never wasting my time. I never turn anyone away.
If you are having problems with relationships or work issues I have a wealth of experience in occupational health, now known as EAP.
I have helped many people in toxic situations with their partners and marriages to find a way to either stay with their partners and change the dynamic or find the courage to leave and start a new life.
Counselling can help you explore your identity or a feeling of imposter syndrome.
Some other reasons people come for counselling are wondering if you are Neuro-divergent or think you are ASD, ADHD or have had a recent diagnosis and are navigating the world through a new lens.
if you are feeling sad, alone, isolated and misunderstood, counselling will help.
If you have been a victim of sexual violence, physical assault or emotional abuse/coercive control, any gender, you are welcome to help me understand what that was like and you will be understood. You are not alone. Talking takes the power out of what happened.
I will help you move on with any feelings of guilt or shame,without judgment.
I have a wealth of experience of working in a local charity specialising in child sexual abuse, sexual violence and domestic abuse, with people who are or have been suicidal.
Neglect, abuse, maybe difficulties in childhood has left you reactive and hyper-vigilant.
The main thing to understand about working with me is that I will offer a bespoke service to you for your unique needs, problems and concerns and you will not be judged.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not an emergency service. If you can not wait for a session, please call the Samaritans on 116 123 or if you are suicidal and can not wait, go to A & E.
My first session
The first session is a consultation to give you a chance to meet me and see if you feel comfortable. You can tell me what you want from counselling and we can discuss this together.
I do not charge for this session.
If the thing you want to talk to me about is not on the list, don't worry that list is just a guide.
You are welcome to click on my website and the link on the home page "Book your FREE consultation" and book in.
I look forward to meeting you and hearing you very soon.
