About me
Do you want to make more sense of your life? Do you feel anxious or worried?
Do you want to talk with someone who will listen in a safe and confidential environment?
I am a qualified, accredited and professional counsellor and clinical supervisor working in Welwyn Garden City. I offer day, some evening and Sunday morning appointments.
I work with individuals primarily in a Person Centred way integrating Psychodynamic and CBT approaches as appropriate. I aim to help you express and understand your feelings, understand yourself and your relationships more and make choices in your life. I also look at strategies that could help you manage your anxieties and concerns.
I am also registered with Barnardo's to provide counselling for those affected by adoption whether you are adopted yourself, are about to adopt or have adopted. I also work with those who have placed a child for adoption and want to talk about their grief and loss.
I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to explore these feelings and to help you build your self esteem and confidence.
