About me
When was the last time that you checked in with yourself? We can be there to support our loved ones and just get on with the day to day but sometimes forget to look after ourselves. We can feel lost, overwhelmed, scared or angry at the curveballs that life throws at us.
As a person-centred therapist, I know how important it is to feel comfortable and accepted in counselling sessions. We can build up trust together and so empower you to explore difficult feelings and find a way forward. I’m happy to work in a shorter-term solution focussed way or explore deeper issues, which have been troubling you for a while, over the longer term.
Being CBT trained, I can help you to identify unhelpful thoughts, patterns and behaviours and we can work on strategies to better manage the emotional impact of these thoughts. I also enjoy bringing in compassionate and mindful approaches to my counselling.
As a relationship counsellor, I trained with Relate working for several national charities & in private practice in this specialist area. Relationship counselling can bring hope when relationships seem stuck and find ways through blocks to clear communication. It’s a chance to gain new perspectives about each other and regain positive ways of being together.
