Profile

We all face difficulties at some time or other in our life. But when you are feeling vulnerable, its difficult to balance your thoughts to reach the solution that's best for you. Finding a non-judgmental, confidential setting where you would feel safe to talk about your difficulties,with an experienced Counsellor, would help you make sense of any problems you may be experiencing.
I am a qualified Counsellor who has been offering therapy to clients who present with a variety of issues, such as Anger, Depression, Post Natal depression, OCD, Bereavement, Relationship issues, Self-harm, Substance Misuse, etc.
I have been working as a volunteer counsellor for over 3 years in a local counselling service. I have also worked in the NHS as a Mental Health Practitioner. I gain great satisfaction from seeing clients gain an improved awareness of their self and become better empowered to reach their own solutions in life.

 Our past experiences can shape the way we respond to current situations leading to problems such as anxiety, stress, depression, anger issues, low self esteem, loneliness and relationship problems . Counselling provides a space in which to explore these and other issues, enabling you to acknowledge the impact of events, either current or past, recognise the emotions that these have caused and consequently understand any response. 

 I am trained in Person Centred Therapy, as well as being a qualified CBT therapist (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). I am committed to continued Personal and Professional development. 
I am a member of BACP and adhere to their code of practice and ethics. In line with all qualified counsellors I undertake regular monthly supervision.
