Íø±¬ÃÅ

I currently have availability for new clients.  

The days I work are:

Monday and Thursday during the day and evenings until 7pm.  Tuesday available hours are late afternoon and early evening.  Friday daytime hours only. 

How I Work

I aim to provide a secure, committed and confidential environment in which you are seen and heard and can safely explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours. This includes any questions, concerns or anxiety you may have about beginning therapy which can feel confusing and scary.

I am a Relational Integrative Counsellor, offering therapy for individuals.  I believe in the healing power of relationship and therefore as your Counsellor, I will work to offer and maintain a safe, trusting and collaborative environment in which you can explore any difficulties you may be facing without fear of judgement.

The therapeutic relationship can be extremely healing as it provides support to explore what you may feel unable to elsewhere. From personal experience, my belief is that being heard and accepted can help to deal with a range of emotional problems.

The work will be at your pace and the sessions are likely to be open-ended, exploring unconscious motivation, defences and childhood experiences in line with psychodynamic therapy.  It may also be goal-specific CBT counselling which can be more short-term.

Should you choose for us to work together, my hope is this time, space and support may enable you to have an improved sense of wellbeing, to find positive ways forward, to feel empowered to rise to future opportunities and to live a personally fulfilling life.

Work Experience

I also work for a mental health charity and have a broad range of experience, including but not limited to: trauma, abuse, relationship problems, low self-esteem, infidelity, suicidal ideation, sexuality, anxiety, depression, existential questions, sexual issues, self-esteem, loneliness, addiction, neurodiversity, loss, bereavement, bullying, work difficulties and family issues.

As a registered member of the Íø±¬ÃÅ I adhere to their professional code of ethics and practice.

My practice is based in a quiet, modern and private ground floor room within my residential property.  There is also access to a toilet. 

Initial Consultation

I offer an initial free consultation to talk through what you would like to achieve and to see if we could work together. Please get in touch by telephone or email.

I am a compassionate counsellor who is committed to ensuring my practice is an inclusive and respectful space for all; regardless of sexuality, gender identity, race, religion, age, body size or ability. Unfortunately, my practice does not have access for a wheelchair. 

My qualifications are:

Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling (Matrix College)

BSc (Hons) Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling (Middlesex University)

I also attend regular Supervision and am fully insured, with a full DBS.

I also attend ongoing CPD sessions, for example working with Narcissism,  Domestic Abuse and Risk Management and trauma.

At the end of this session, we will discuss whether we feel we are a good fit for working together. Should you wish to proceed with counselling we will then establish the regular time for your sessions.
