About me
I within a person centred approach. I can provide a safe and confidential space which will allow you to bring whatever it is that you want to talk about without judgement.
Together we can explore any feelings or difficulties you are experiencing and work towards making sense of these experiences to gain more self understanding and clarity. I will work at your pace to help you discover ways of coping that can help you resolve your difficulties and move towards healing and positive growth.
- Things that may have brought you to counselling could include:
- Feelings of anxiety and stress
- Feeling overwhelmed by life's circumstances
- low mood, depression or a lack of meaning in your life
- loss and grief
- Isolation and loneliness
- Difficulties in relationships
- low self worth, lack of confidence
- A personal crisis
It can take courage to engage in counselling but whatever brings you to therapy, I will treat with sensitivity, understanding, care and support to help you find ways to work through the challenges that you may be facing.
I also use other counselling modalities where these may be helpful to you. These may include: Attachment Theory, Transactional Analysis, CBT, Gestalt, Solution Focused Therapy, Transpersonal and creative techniques.
I work within the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Code of Ethics. I am GDPR and DBS compliant as well as fully insured.
I have over 40 years experience of working in the mental health sector which includes working for the NHS, Primary Care and Social Care sectors. This has given me a wealth of experience in working alongside people managing a variety of mental health issues.
I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change and that this starts with the first step.
I offer in person telephone and online appointments as well as mobile appointments in your own home for people who cannot attend a clinic due to age, health or disability barriers.
