Please note: I work Monday - Wednesday face to face and remotely on Thursdays

Hi, my name is Sal, and I'm a person-centred counsellor based in Newcastle upon Tyne.

I am lucky to feel as though I can offer you a tailored approach, as I believe the theraputic relationship is one of the most important parts of the journey. What this means is that I work with you, by learning what has either worked for you in the past, or what could work for you in the now. I offer a creative, flexible approach, which could mean outlining a mind-map, so we can work through what you would like to focus on; or just talking through a situation in order to gain insight. 

As thoughts and feelings come up, I will invite you to fully experience your thoughts and feelings within your body, and together we can engage with moving through them. I will always keep your safety in mind when engaging with mind/body work, and will never pressure or expect you to move through a practice that feels like a threat. 

I have clinical experience in anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, Autism, bereavement, burnout, chronic fatigue/illness, disabilities, gender dysphoria, LGBTQIA+, BPD, loneliness, self harm, and stress.

I have lived experience of LGBTQIA+ issues, physical disabilities, chronic illness and Neurodiversity. 

I offer a free, 10/15 minute phonecall or video chat where you are under no obligation to continue with sessions, but where we can see whether or not we would work well together.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I'm a very visual person, so I use metaphors and visualisations to understand how your brain thinks about its thoughts and the world around you - but I do this to further understand you, and bring those thoughts to conscious awareness.

Our first session together will cover boundaries, limits to confidentiality, your aims/goals/wants and needs in exploring who you are, and also to see if we would work well together.

I do not fill out paperwork during sessions, or give you homework to complete.
