About me

Hi, thank you for looking at my profile. Asking for help when you feel you can no longer cope alone is a very brave step to take. You have recognised that you may need additional support to help you work through your problems. As a person-centred counsellor I can offer you that support and help you work through these difficulties and see things more clearly. I have experience of working with adults, young people and children.

I currently work as a School Counsellor (ages 11-16), a Volunteer Counsellor at a bereavement charity and I also have a small private practice. Working within these very different environments allows me to work with a diverse range of clients by way of age, gender, ethnicity, disability etc. and with a variety of issues for example bereavement, panic attacks, anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, anger, divorce, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, unresolved issues and issues with identity etc.

Although I am person-centred, I do also draw on the skills and/or techniques from other modalities for example CBT, Gestalt etc. I have found that no one method, approach or technique works with everyone. I find this especially true with children and young people. As a way of keeping them engaged I think of new innovative ways of getting them to open up. For example, I use art, role play, listening or making music and adapt board games to encourage participation. This is also an approach I have found many adults enjoy! Children and young people may not be used to having a 'voice'. I feel the counselling process and therefore my role, is about helping them to learn to 'talk'.
