About me
Are you tired of struggling with the impact of trauma and longing for a more fulfilling life? As a therapist specialising in trauma I work to help people in distress, addressing issues such as relationship challenges, anxiety, and the deeper effects of past traumas. Let's work together to navigate the challenges you face and guide you towards the life you truly desire.
I believe in the power of positive change with the right support. One of my clients referred to me as an 'emotional GPS', here to guide you through difficulties and helping you reach your desired destination.
In addition to my core training in the Person-Centred Approach, I'm trained in EMDR therapy and have a keen interest in mindfulness, eco-therapy, and existentialism, offering varied approaches to suit individual needs.
Flexibility is important to me. We can have one-off sessions for pressing issues or arrange regular ongoing sessions for deeper exploration.
I’m a Registered and Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), adhering to their Ethical Framework. Beyond my counselling work, I hold a degree in Sociology and Writing, and I'm experienced in Cooperative and Community Development work. My involvement with environmental and community organisations spans most of my adult life. I’m also the Managing Director and Senior Counsellor at 'Counselling for Social Change'. I'm deeply committed to making a difference.
If you're ready to take the next step, you can easily book online - https://headontherapy.com/booking/. Let's embark on this journey together towards a more fulfilling life.
