Profile
I am an experienced Person-Centred Counsellor, offering a discreet and confidential service from 2 city centre locations in Leicester, Rutland House Counselling & Psychotherapy on Friar Lane and The Eastgate Complementary Health Centre on Humberstone Road.
I work with clients from many different backgrounds with a diverse range of issues and needs. I also specialise in Bereavement & Loss and have worked for Cruse Bereavement Care since 2004.
My role is to provide a confidencial, safe and trusting environment, the emphasis being on the therapeutic relationship, where you will find a compassionate and non-judgemental approach, enabling you to explore experiences, thoughts, feelings and personal difficulties.
People from all walks of life choose to see a counsellor and benefit from what it has to offer.
Counselling is a very personal, private and confidencial process and is a unique experience for each individual, it is built on a foundation of trust, warmth, genuine understanding and support, at times you may find it very challenging as you work through difficulties, we can look at challenges in your life, and help you to gain valuable insight of your self, helping to turn negative thoughts and feelings into a positive experience.
Counselling can provide a person with a better understanding of their emotions, behaviour and perception of life experience.
I believe everyone has the resources for personal growth, and I am commited to helping people work through their difficulties.
I work to promote the process of healing through a holistic approach, working with all aspects of the person, the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual, treating the whole person, combining past, present and future and identifying specific areas that require change.
Seeking help can be the first step and beginning of a journey of healing, bringing peace of mind and restoring hope.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
I have a special interest in working with suicide survivors, caring for the special needs of people coping with the aftermath of a suicide, counselling individuals who are grieving a sudden and unexpected loss.
People often feel different with suicide bereavement, the pain that survivors feel can be severe, overwhelming and traumatic, survivors can suffer with unresolved, intense, prolonged or complicated grief, life has changed forever and those left behind can feel deeply wounded.
Making sense of the suicide of a loved one can be an emotional journey, with help and support over time people do survive what feels unbearable.
