About me and my therapy practice
When we experience difficulty, it can cause us to feel stuck. Counselling can help us join the dots and make the links to find solutions that can help us move into a different space. I provide a non-judgmental, empathic space for you to explore whatever you are going through in a time frame that works for you. Maybe you want to speak about an experience that has deeply affected you in the past, or perhaps you are going through a significant change in your life and are looking for some support to process it. You may have recognised that you get yourself into similar situations repeatedly and you want to break this pattern, or you may have felt the stress build up over time and are looking for some coping strategies to help manage your wellbeing.Practice description
I am an Integrative Humanistic Counsellor with 20 years of experience working with adults in a variety of mental health settings. I’ve trained in a wide range of counselling models, enabling me to provide a unique way of working tailored to the individual. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach, and will follow your lead as the client, working in a way that suits you and at your pace. I gained an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative counselling at CPPD counselling school and am accredited with the British Association of Counselling Practitioners (MÍø±¬ÃÅ). I am experienced in working both with single sessions and for structured long and short-term counselling contracts.My first session
When you first make contact, we can arrange to have a brief phone chat free of charge to see if we’d be a suitable fit. Then, we would arrange to have an assessment to set the intention for the work. Once we are on the same page about the focus for the sessions, we can agree on a day and time that would work on a weekly basis.What I can help with
