Welcome, 

I understand it can be daunting in selecting and reaching out to a therapist. Highlighting, by researching this website, you are already making your first step.

You may feel overwhelmed with some of life's challenges and have queries such as, where do I begin? Who would be competent in working with me? Or what is a counselling approach? Consequently, I hope the following information will provide you with some clarity on your next steps.

I have been trained in a therapeutic approach called Integrative counselling. As an Integrative counsellor, I acknowledge that people come from all walks of life with a variety of issues. Therefore, I aim to cater to the specific needs of the individual as; I do not believe that one single approach can work effectively on every individual.

My practice is grounded in person-centred counselling whilst, integrating in a careful manner perspectives and practices from other approaches. I am grounded in the person-centred approach in order to build a strong and trustworthy therapeutic relationship. 

I offer a safe, empathic and non-judgemental space for you to explore any difficulties, thoughts and emotions you may be experiencing. I believe you are the expert on your life therefore; I will walk alongside and guide you in reaching your own solutions. This can provide you with healing, clarity and the confidence to move forward and live a more fulfilling life.

Continuing Professional Development:

I regularly attend courses/training which informs my practice on counselling and psychotherapy. 

As well as private practice, I presently work as a counsellor for a community-based charitable organisation.

I have experience in providing counselling to a diverse group of people with a range of difficulties. I specialise, but not limited to, working with trauma, abuse, sexual violence, grief and loss, low self-esteem and confidence, stress, relationship issues, anxiety and depression.

It is important for you to feel that the therapist is the correct fit. Therefore, I offer a free twenty-minute introductory call. 

This will give us the opportunity to explore what has been concerning you and, answer any queries you may have. As well as, providing you with a impression of me and how I work. 

Then, if we decide to proceed we will agree a time that suits you for our weekly therapy sessions.
