Availability
I currently have availability for new clients.
I offer face-to-face counselling on Saturdays from a comfortable and confidential counselling room at the Dynamic Counselling Centre, located within the Saracens Head complex on the High Street in Great Dunmow.
About me and my therapy practice
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor with a diverse educational, professional, and life experience. Grounded in a humanistic approach, I value each person’s unique experiences and believe that whatever you bring to counselling is not “too much” and deserves to be met with care, respect, and curiosity.
I work bilingually and bring a multicultural background to my practice, offering a warm, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore what has brought you to counselling. I foster a deep commitment to walking alongside others with honesty and compassion, supporting you at your own pace.
I believe strongly in the power of the therapeutic relationship to facilitate growth, self-discovery, and healing. My aim is to create a space where you feel safe enough to explore difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences, knowing that you will be met with understanding and care.
Practice description
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and I am currently working towards accreditation in my private practice and support clients who come to therapy for a wide range of reasons, including anxiety, low mood, sadness, stress, difficulties coping, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, experiences of trauma, and identity-related concerns.
I work in accordance with the BACP ethical framework and professional standards. I am also fully insured and receive regular clinical supervision, ensuring that my practice is safe, ethical, and reflective.
I have a strong interest in working with people from diverse backgrounds, particularly those struggling with issues around identity, belonging, and the emotional impact of migration or living between cultures. I am committed to ongoing professional development and have completed additional training in trauma awareness and trauma-informed practice, which informs my work and supports me in working ethically and sensitively with clients.
My first session
Starting counselling can feel like a big step, so I offer a free 30-minute introductory session. This gives us an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to counselling, answer any questions you may have, and see whether working together feels right for us. There is no obligation to continue afterwards.
If we decide to continue working together, sessions are usually held weekly at the same time each week. Before our first session, I will send you a counselling agreement with practical information about how we will work together, including confidentiality, fees, cancellations and other important details.
