About me and my therapy practice
Therapy can feel awkward, too big and sometimes uncomfortable. I will make the space feel less clinical and more of a non-judgemental conversation with someone entirely on your team.
You do not need to have your thoughts in order when you arrive, we will work through them together.
The content of your sessions is up to you, unless you ask for some direction.
Sometimes, it can feel worse before it feels better but it is always hoped that you will benefit from the exploration of the past and gain new perspectives on the future.
I will encourage you to find your own answers, working alongside you while you make these discoveries. I will point out and question patterns.
You will be heard.
Practice description
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
I work with many kinds of adult clients with a broad range of presenting issues, the common theme is a desire to be truly heard and to be free to speak. My clients often work on grief, loss and change, anger, expectations, identity, caring responsibilities, illness, anxiety, relationships etc. You do not need to be in crisis to seek therapeutic counselling.
As a neurodiverse therapeutic counsellor, I can empathise with the experience of the neurodivergent individual. I am a passionate believer in neuroaffirming therapy which has, without doubt, changed my own life
There may be humour when appropriate, swearing when nothing else will do, I will gently point out patterns and dig deeper when it’s right.
We will work collaboratively to ensure you have the best type of counselling to suit your needs. If I am not the one for you, I can help refer you onwards.
