About me and my therapy practice
Support when life feels difficult. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, stuck or unsure where to begin, counselling can offer a calm and confidential space to talk things through at your own pace. "You don't have to face things alone. I'm here to walk alongside you"
I am a qualified integrative counsellor, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic , Gestalt and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). My approach is warm, person-centred and non-judgemental, shaped around your needs, experience and goals.
Practice description
A safe space to be heard, understood and supported. Together we can explore difficult feelings, recognise patterns, build coping strategies and work towards greater self-understanding, confidence and emotional wellbeing.
Counselling can help with:
- Anxiety, stress, low mood and depression
- Bereavement, loss, trauma and life transitions
- Relationships, attachment, identity and self-esteem
- Neurodiversity, mental health needs and additional support
If you are thinking about counselling, you are welcome to contact me for an initial conversation to ask questions and see whether we are a right fit
My first session
Before we begin, I offer a free 30 minute consultation by phone or video, a chance to speak briefly, get a sense of one another, and see if we feel like a good fit. Before starting the first session I will sent to you a therapeutic counselling contract for you to read and sign and return to me.
The first session is unhurried. We will explore what has brought you here and begin to find a way of working together that feels right for you.
