Welcome and thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

My name is Rona, and I'm a qualified, registered, integrative counsellor. I work both as a college counsellor with young adults and with private clients.

I offer sliding scale prices to keep my service accessible to all.

I believe realising you need a change is the first step towards a better living - awareness leads to action.

By seeking professional help, you are another step closer to better understanding yourself, your experiences, your thoughts and patterns - and this in turn will help you understand why you make the choices you make, and how to move towards new outcomes.

When we experience hardship, it can feel lonely, painful and overwhelming.

I will be there alongside you through your journey, offering support and guidance, rather than advising and directing you. 

My practice is shaped in the knowledge that my clients hold the best understanding of their own history, predicament and needs. They may feel stuck, lost or confused, but with some guidance and use of counselling skills, we can facilitate better clarity and understanding.

I walk alongside my client, supporting them in their process.

Whatever you're holding, my aim is to provide a safe, warm, non- judgmental space to help you both unburden and process. We are all shaped by our past, and despite it being unchangeable, we can change how it manages us.

Being heard and seen, where you can start to feel less alone with difficulties, can make a vast difference.

Together we develop a relationship that recognises your own history, and responds to your present needs, depending on what you find helpful at any given time.

I have years of experience working with children and young adults with a variety of needs in the education system, providing support and guidance for them and their families.

I offer online therapy through video or telephone calls and support both short & long-term therapy options. Deciding on how many sessions we will need can be led by you, your comfortability and progress.

The support I would like to offer, is creating a safe, non-judgmental space, where you can truly share- knowing you will be seen and heard.

I combine different therapeutic practices to focus on your needs: mainly person-centred approach, CBT and psychodynamic models.

With the skills and knowledge I have gained through my training and working with clients, I can help facilitate a better understanding of your patterns of thoughts and behaviours that might be unserving- when we become aware of a pattern, it has less control of us.

We will be building our capacity to carry life’s tension and friction, and develop our ability to react out of choice and less out of our automatic patterns.

I will help examine your perspective of life events, relationships and interactions, moving towards being able to reduce life's ups and downs' impact on our well-being.

If you're curious if we can work together well, you can send me an email sharing a little about you and why are you looking for a counsellor..

We can then arrange for a free 15-minute call so we can have an informal chat about your expectations and past experiences of therapy, share any concerns you might have, and see if I'm the right fit for you before scheduling a first session.

-What would a first session be like?

Our therapy session will last 50 minutes, and everything we talk about is confidential.

If I feel you or someone around you might be at risk, we will discuss it further before I seek external safeguarding assistance.

-How many sessions can I have?

I offer online therapy through video or phone. I support both short-term therapy (between 6 and 12 sessions) & long-term therapy (ongoing) option. We will work around your needs and progress.
