About me
What can I help with ?
Any of life's challenges, no matter how big or small they may feel. I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can feel truly heard and accepted. I can help you to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. I can also challenge ideas that you may hold about yourself, that stop you from living life to your full potential.
My support is tailored to suit your individual needs. I can adapt sessions to suit your unique personality, experiences, and goals, whether you need practical coping strategies, space to talk things through, or deeper self-understanding.
How to make contact
You are welcome to contact me through the Counselling Directory in whichever way suits you, and I will respond to your enquiry within 24 hours.
Experience
- Adult counselling
Exploring difficult childhood experiences and the effect of them on life today.
Challenges with family, friend or work relationships. Self esteem and confidence issues, depression and anxiety. Bereavement and loss, loss of direction in life, loss of lust for life.
- Over 17's Counselling
Working with young people from age 17 on behalf of a well-known therapeutic organisation, I provide one-to-one, student-centred support within an educational setting, offering a safe and confidential space for young people to explore a range of emotional and psychological challenges. My role includes working with issues such as anxiety, low mood, depression, self-esteem, identity development, eating disorders, ADHD, and Autism, adapting my approach to meet diverse neurodevelopmental and mental health needs.
What to expect from our first session together
After our brief telephone consultation, we will spend our first session together establishing if our relationship can work, and if I can offer what you are looking for from your therapy. I will gather some more information about you to build a picture of where you are with your life. We will discuss what your goals might be and how we can achieve them within a time frame. From this, we will know if we can work well together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am qualified to Level 5 as an integrative counsellor which means that I can tailor our sessions to suit the type of therapy you wish to receive. Some people like to be challenged , others just want a confidential place to talk and others like to set goals and meet particular challenges.
I work in several modalities including person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapy.
It is my belief that anyone can make small changes to improve their lives and it is my privilege to support you to do this, hopefully helping you to navigate the situation that might be troubling you.
