About me
Hi, I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor. I run my own private practice and also work as a Therapist at The Priory. I began my counselling journey in order to provide more therapeutic support to families I was working with at the time in social and health care settings. I now aim to support anyone struggling to manage difficult feelings of anxiety, depression or low self-esteem and also grief, relationship issues or other challenges that you may face in life. I work from Shoeburyness, near Southend - on- Sea, but currently offer virtual sessions via Zoom or over the phone.
I work as an integrative counsellor which means I can offer a variety of techniques, strategies and theories that can be adapted to each individual clients needs and goals. These include using a person-centred approach, CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), Transactional Analysis, goal setting and coping strategies, such as relaxation and mindfulness.
I am happy to offer a non-judgemental environment where I can support you to explore the challenges you may be facing and your own sense of self; alongside developing coping strategies and setting goals to move forward and be confident that you can cope when life may get difficult in future.
