About me
As an integrative counsellor my aim is to create a nurturing and empowering space for individuals struggling with all of life's hurdles, including self-esteem, confidence, and lack of resilience. I understand that many clients come to therapy feeling unheard, unworthy, and uncertain of their place in the world. My aim is to facilitate a journey of self-discovery and healing, where clients can reclaim their voice, rebuild their self-worth, and foster a sense of belonging.
Having walked a path where I, too, have felt unheard and undervalued, this lived experience allows me to connect authentically with my clients, fostering trust and rapport. I understand the importance of being surrounded by someone who gets it.
You may be struggling with life's challenges or coming to terms with a change in your life and want to work on how best to navigate this. You may be someone with a mental health diagnosis or physical life limiting diagnosis and want to work through how this impacts your life. I'm here for it all. Whatever it is, my approach is surrounded in empathy and giving you the best possible place to reflect on this and find clarity and healing along the way.
I run weekly/fortnightly therapy sessions but have written an 8 week resillience programme built around fostering self-worth, self-advocacy and motivation which I currently run at a local charity but can use on a one-to-one basis also. Whatever your needs we can work with whatever suits you best.
