About me and my therapy practice

I am a qualified counsellor/psychotherapist and member of 网爆门.

I am an experienced counsellor who aims to understand my clients and support them using appropriate counselling to suit the individual. I believe every individual has the capacity to know themself and work out what they need to lead a fulfilling life. My role is to support the individual to get to know themself better and be able to unlock what they need in order to lead that more fulfilling life.

My main area of interest is loss and grief as I believe most emotional challenges derive from some sort of loss. The impact of loss and grief is sometimes minimised when it is not as obvious an event such as the death of a loved one. Loss felt from a relationship breakdown, being made redundant, experiencing menopause, losing a loved one and many other life events in between can create different emotional challenges. These can include anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship issues and challenges, anger, motivational issues, shame, negative self-esteem and self-worth, loss of one鈥檚 self.

I aim to support my clients to develop their own sense of who they are, recognise what may have brought them to a place in their life where things are not clear or may feel too much, and to help them unlock and release what is holding them in a place they do not want to be and take them to where they do want to be.

Practice description

I offer sessions online, on the telephone, or by walking and talking out in nature. Sessions tend to be weekly, but everyone is individual and so we can agree what is best.

My first session

I offer a FREE 20 MINUTE session over the telephone or online video for us to establish if we are a good fit to work together. It gives you the chance to understand if my style of therapy may work for you, and it will allow me to appreciate what you are seeking from your time with a counsellor.

If we then work together the sessions can take place over the telephone, by online video, or by 鈥榳alk and talk鈥� therapy which some people find more conducive to being able to express and think more deeply.
