About me
Hello,
I am an integrative counsellor offering 1:1 support via telephone, zoom or face to face appointments in my therapy room.
I specialise in Bereavement, Trauma, Depression and Anxiety. My private practice provides a quiet, safe, confidetial space to talk. As a counsellor I'm non-judgmental, empathic and client led. The therapeutic process is individually catered to what the client brings and needs.
I have experience working with:
- Trauma
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Relationship issues
- Bullying
- Low mood
- Discrimination
- Loneliness
- Suicide within a family
- Stress-related issues
- Bereavement
I have been a counsellor for many years, during this time I have worked with 1:1 clients, Couples Counselling and Emotional Support Groups. Please see below for more information about this.
The next step
It can feel quite daunting making the decision to see a counsellor. I provide an initial free 50 minute in-take session. This in-take meeting will give the opportunity for both myself the counsellor and you the client, time to explore what you want from this process, then you can make the decision if I am the right counsellor for you. Being genuine from the beginning and exploring the counsellor/client relationship will help to build a rapport, enabling the therapeutic relationship to work more successfully.
You can call me on 07983799140 or send me an email here if you have any questions or would like to set up a session.
Training, qualifications & experience
Counselling Dip. I am a qualified counsellor, I trained with AIM awards and NCS (national counselling society). I'm MBACP Reg. ( a registered member of BACP governing body). I abide and work alongside the ethical framework set out by BACP. I work with adults only (18+) and I also provide couple counselling.
I am an integrative counsellor which means I work using CBT, Humanistic and Psychodynamic approach, catering the way I work to the need of the client. I also use play therapy, art therapy, visuasation, stone therapy and many other therapies that are useful if a client is struggling too verbalise how they are feeling.
I offer short-term (6 weeks) counselling, 12 weeks counselling and long term counselling. This will all be discussed in your intake session.
As a counsellor I continuously expand my experience and knowledge by attending regular CPD workshops, this keeps me updated, aswell as it enables me to learn new skills, which will be incorporated into my private practice.

Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority.
