About me
I offer a warm, compassionate and understanding counselling service for adults and young people, providing a safe and confidential space where you can talk openly and be heard without judgement. I believe that trust is at the heart of effective counselling. Building a respectful and trusting therapeutic relationship is important to me and I work at your pace, recognising that everyones experiences are unique, to help you feel safe to explore your thoughts, feeling and experiences. I can support you with a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief ,low self-esteem and times of emotional uncertainty or change. Whether you are struggling with something recent or carrying experiences that have affected you for some time, counselling can offer an opportunity to understand yourself more deeply and explore ways forward. As a nurse as well, I have an understanding of the important connection between our physical and emotional wellbeing .
My approach is compassionate, non-judgemental and person-centred which aims to help you feel understood, supported and empowered to develop greater confidence and resilience
