Current availibility: Monday and Tuesday day time.

Before becoming a counsellor I have been a nurse for many years. I know how to build connections with people and support them through painful experiences. There are events in life which need to be recovered from and I use my skills in creating a warm and welcoming, comfortable space in which my clients can do that.  My clients and I often laugh, it’s been known for there to be singing in my sessions, we’ve sometimes sat sprawled on the floor, I want my clients to feel able to let it all hang out whatever way feels right for them in that moment. If this sounds like an environment that might suit you do email me and we’ll arrange a time to meet. I aim to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours Monday - Friday.

I use a person-centred approach which means the clients lead the sessions where they feel they need to go but I am an active participant in our time together, I will bring my perspective and understanding of what comes up in our sessions and we’ll work together to learn and grow from what we discover. Therapy is a partnership first and foremost and I encourage my clients to use the space to learn about themselves as individuals but also themselves as they are in relationships by using the relationship that we develop between us. My bread and butter in sessions is learning and practicing self compassion; as I see it when we nurture ourselves especially the parts of ourselves that are in pain, we begin the process of soothing our own selves and meeting needs in ourselves which have been left unmet often for a very long time.

We'll use the first session to do an assessment to make sure we are a good fit for eachother and to get a sense of your story and what is bringing you to counselling right now.
