Profile
I have a strong background in Nursing and Health Visiting, so listening to peoples' difficulties in confidence has always been at the centre of my work. We all need to be heard and accepted whatever the problem and it doesn't necessarily need a crisis for us to acknowledge that we need help.
Stress and mental ill health are not uncommon: 1:5 people suffer from stress-related problems whatever their life situation and this means that 1:3 families will be affected by someone close to them who is suffering emotional ill health.
As a counsellor I prefer to practice psychodynamically, which means linking current behaviour and relationships with peoples' past experiences and relationships. However, I can also help clients to overcome their difficulties by using solution-focussed therapy and CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy).
If you decide to contact me you will initially be offered an assessment session (no charge), and if we both feel that counselling is appropriate we then arrange to meet for weekly sessions.
Areas of counselling I can help with: abuse, adolescent issues, anxiety, bereavement and loss, bullying, child-related issues, depression,eating disorders, family problems, issues of identity, lack of confidence, low self-esteem, menopausal problems, panic attacks, pregnancy and childbirth, post-natal depression, self-harm, sexual abuse, stress, relationship issues. work-related issues.
