Íø±¬ÃÅ

I have availability on Thursdays

I am Therapeutic Mentor and and Íø±¬ÃÅ registered Integrative Psychosynthesis Counsellor. I specialise in working with students. I integrate  arts-based methods and emotional competence tools into the therapeutic mentoring.  I have a special interest in neurodiversity and in the creative process. I'm LGBT and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) affirmative. 

I offer a warm, safe, confidential space to support you to explore and reflect on your feelings and experiences, identify your goals and explore skills and strategies tailored to your needs. 

Therapeutic mentoring is active and practical. I can help with skills to help you connect with your creativity, reduce anxiety and stress, build confidence and self-esteem, and support motivation and morale. I can offer strategies to help with organisation and time management and techniques for managing self-regulation and wellbeing, such as mindfulness and DBT affirmative tools.   

Therapeutic mentoring can be light-hearted and humorous, with opportunities for creative self-expression, growth, healing and change.

I'm fully qualified, insured and DBS checked. 

I'm passionate about working creatively to help you to find out more about who you are, build your skills and resources, increase your resilience and realise your abilities and potential. Using creative and arts- based methods such as image and sound making, vision boards, movement, creative writing and journaling, I can help to facilitate ways for you to connect more deeply with your own creative process and manifest your ideas.

I integrate DBT affirmative emotional competence skills in the way that I work. These can support personal growth by helping you to regulate your emotions, manage thoughts, moods and behaviors, identify negative belief patterns, manage your time and identify and work towards your aspirations and goals.

I can offer an initial short meeting on zoom or on the phone to discuss what you'd like to gain from Therapeutic Mentoring, talk about practicalities such as availability and fee, and for you to ask any questions about the way that I work. This initial call is free, with no obligation to commit to working together.
