About me
I am an integrative counsellor, which means I combine many therapeutic approaches to tailor our sessions to your individual needs and goals. The main approaches I use are person centred, psychodynamic which looks at the past and bring it into the here and now, and CBT. Everyone is different and so my sessions are tailored to your needs. I will work in collaboration with you, so you can work at your pace and bring into the sessions what you want. We will set your goals together. I will meet you where you are in life and we can look at what has brought you to counselling in the here and now and work together. I am based in Bishops Stortford and the surrounding areas, I also offer online sessions.
I work with you to explore what you want to achieve in therapy. I work with a wide range of issues in counselling but I specialise in relationship issues, bereavement, anxiety, panic attacks and life changes like divorce, illness, relationship breakdowns, career changes, moving house, empty nest, to name a few.
What to expect from our sessions.
I understand how hard it is to reach out for help and this is a big step to make when life feels overwhelming and difficult. I offer a safe, friendly, welcoming, non judgemental space for you to express yourself. I don't expect anything from you in our sessions, these are for you to be yourself and say and feel what you want. I work in a collaborative style, which means we will come up with ways in which our sessions will run together, so you can feel in control and set the pace of the sessions. I will at times if you want me too, introduce tools that can help you in between our sessions, for example with anxiety and panic attacks learning some ground techniques and breathing exercises can help you daily.
My role is to listen and help you to explore what is going on for you and to help you move forwards to the life or goals you want for yourself. My aim is for you to have the knowledge and tools for you to go forward and enjoy your future. I provide a confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.
