Searching for a counsellor, let alone making initial contact, can be a daunting prospect and I hope, that by reading a bit about me, you will feel a little easier with regard to getting in touch.

I know how painful it is to feel like no one understands. Finding the right counsellor is a process. I am a qualified person-centred (humanistic) counsellor for Adults, Children and Young People. I am also a member of the Íø±¬ÃÅ (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), and means that my work is carried out in line with their Ethical Framework.

My aim is to offer you a safe and confidential space to explore your feelings, without judgement. Talking to a stranger, in this case, a counsellor, can be challenging, but it’s true that in most cases, clients find the journey incredibly rewarding. If you have never experienced counselling before and are wondering what to expect, let me explain a little about how the process works.

The way I work is very much focused and led by you. From our very first contact, my aim is to help you feel at ease, by offering you respect and understanding. Together we can explore any issues that you are having and any limitations that may be stopping you from leading the life you would like, while helping you to feel fully supported. I believe that the relationship between counsellor and client is at the heart of the counselling process, therefore choosing the right therapist for you is key to the work.

My special interest is working with children and young people. When working with adults, my specialist areas are narcissistic abuse, co-dependency and trauma bonding. If you've been in a toxic relationship, you can often be left in a high state of confusion. Many people describe this as "not even recognising themselves”. You may be feeling anxiety/depression, head fog, PTSD and lethargy.

It is hard to explain what you have been through to people who have not experienced this type of trauma themselves. This is where a counsellor that is knowledgeable in this area is essential. I can help to guide you through the feelings and support you in understanding narcissism.

My experience of working within a therapeutic setting has covered a wide range of issues. These include, but not limited to: Anxiety, Depression, Neurodiversity, Post-traumatic stress, OCD, Attachment issues, Bereavement & Loss, Addiction, Low Self-esteem, Self-harm, Trauma, Relationship and Confidence issues.

I offer a free initial consultation with no obligations.

This is when I introduce both myself and where I work. I will talk about what you can expect from our sessions, as well as giving you the opportunity to ask any questions you might have. My counselling room is a safe and welcoming therapeutic space and where I hope you will feel comfortable and at ease. If you feel that I'm the Counsellor for you and would like to arrange an appointment with me, please get in touch and we can discuss your requirements and how we can best work together to suit your needs.
