About me

Counselling

I am an integrative and person-centred counsellor who engages in relational work with young adults and adults experiencing crises or difficulties in areas such as work, personal matters, and relationships. I offer a space of quality attention that assists you in exploring your options to develop the best possible steps forward. My services include short-term and long-term counselling tailored to meet your specific needs.

Training, Qualification & Experience

As a qualified counsellor holding a degree level qualification and postgraduate diploma-level clinical supervisor certification, my primary approach focuses on humanism - emphasising the entire experience of individuals. Empathetic relating without judgement is integral to my practice.

I possess valuable experience working within mental health orgsnisations as well as educational environments, including schools, mental health charities for young people, family support organisations and domestic violence charities. I am currently managing a face to face and online private practice. 

My extensive background has enabled me to facilitate group sessions alongside one-to-one counselling sessions while managing short- or long-term projects effectively. Additionally, I have worked closely with counsellors-in-training regarding course criteria and portfolios.

To continue developing my skills as a practitioner actively seeking ways to improve myself by attending professional development courses regularly while reading up on current research topics relevant to this field of study.
