About me and my therapy practice
My work is primarily online and via telephone; this is to ensure that those who want to engage in counselling can do so in spaces that are more convenient and accessible to them. Therapeutic change and empathic communication are not just limited to face to face therapy.
I have a varied background in private and public sectors with my interests being work related stress, burn out, chronic conditions and the lack of representation and spaces for intersectional individuals. Family dysfunction, enmeshment, estrangement and intergenerational trauma are other areas I work with. It can be hard enough talking about our experiences without having to reiterate and break down differences. I bring understanding, not assumptions about how diversity may shape you.
I work with clients who need help with general mental health concerns; offering both short and long term sessions dependent on your needs.
Although I have an understanding of various therapeutic processes I am rooted in person centered. Carl Rogers (American Psychologist, founder of Person Centered Theory) is quoted to have said
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."
I look forward to hearing from you.
Students and counselling students welcome; I offer low cost therapy for those in education and low incomes.
Practice description
Therapy is unfortunately usually the first time people feel truly seen and understood. My role is to be with you, in your exploration; with genuine congruence and empathy.
I explain (jargon free!) and answer questions that come up along the way helping to keep my clients at the center of their process. Not every client will fit with every therapist; this is why I offer a free 15 session to give you a more informed choice.
