About me and my therapy practice
What has shaped you, and who are you becoming? Who are you inside, and what are you dreams and hopes? My work as a person-centred counsellor gives you space to explore your sense of self and understand yourself better with gentle curiosity and compassion.
Often during our lives we find ourselves carrying things like sadness, anger, apathy, anxiety, grief, fear, shame or despair. The counselling space is a place to explore all that you are carrying, with the hope that together we can find a way to lighten that load, and allow you to take a deep breath.
I am a Íø±¬ÃÅ Accredited Counsellor based in Nottingham, working both in person and online with individuals ages 18+. I am trained in integrative counselling, incorporating person-centred counselling with tools from other modalities including pluralistic psychotherapy and psychodynamic therapy. I also have an interest in somatic therapy, noticing and being with our own embodied experiences with curiosity and compassion.
I have experience in working with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, bereavement, shame and infertility.
Choosing a counsellor and beginning the process can feel challenging, so if you have further questions about the counselling process or my way of working then please contact me.
Practice description
I work in a comfortable counselling room within the Quadrant business centre in Beeston.
I have experience working with clients for short term, medium term or longer term blocks of therapy, and will discuss your goals with you so we can agree how to proceed in our work together.
I also offer online sessions using Google Meet to facilitate the video calls.
My first session
I offer an initial short phone call (no charge for this) to answer questions and book in a time for a first session.
At the first session I will ask you questions to understand what brings you to therapy and what you would like to work on. I will also ask about your background and what life is like day-to-day. This allows us to see if I will be a good fit for you as a counsellor.
After this session if you would like to continue, then we can agree to meet regularly (usually weekly or fortnightly) at the same time/day moving forward.
