About me

Hello,

I am an integrative psychotherapeutic practitioner with an Honours (BSc) degree in integrative counselling. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy; and hold current indemnity insurance.

My approach is to work creatively with client autonomy and integrate a dynamic therapy striving to meet each clients individuality: when working with issues such as Anxiety/Stress; OCD; Relationship issues; Life difficulties/Changes; Depression; Domestic abuse; Bereavement; to bring focus to our work. Please see the extensive list of areas (Mental Health issues) I work with below.

I offer both long and short-term counselling and psychotherapy to everyone 18 years of age and over. I offer two locations one in central Bourne and also in Thurlby in the suburb of Bourne. I offer a therapeutic, non-judgemental and confidential service.

Within our therapeutic environment, empathy, compassion and respect is at the heart of our work together. My integrative practice and philosophy is a blend of a humanistic stance and belief in the recurrent evolutionary ability to develop through relationships. I firmly believe that a robust therapeutic relationship can alleviate mental distress. By experiencing my own personal journey through therapy, I am mindful of each client’s individual uniqueness. My aim is to be creative in facilitating and building a unique therapeutic relationship.

Life can be very challenging: at times seeking professional help may well be the right way forward to bring resolve to your challenges through a confidential therapeutic relationship. Our first meeting will be an exploration of what you feel you need from our sessions and how best to support you with this. Ultimately our relationship is uncompromisable and this will allow us to engage and assess our suitability to work together.

Experience:

My experience of counselling within a 'Sexual Abuse Referral Centre' was resourceful in broadening my knowledgye of how trauma from childhood may impact our adult relationships; and how the impact of sexual abuse in adulthood/childhood can impact our daily lives. In addition, my time spent there brought experience in working with self-harm; OCD; domestic abuse; depression; anxiety; sexual exploitation; bereavement.

I attended an 8 week in-depth stress reduction 'Mindfulness' course for my personal development and to advance my experience and knowledge of this technique within my practice.

I  have worked as a voluntary telephone support worker with Parent line plus

I have a corporate background and held positions in Sales/Secretarial/P.A. roles.

Counselling can help us to gain insight into how we relate within our relationships and discover new ways of being: creating new patterns of relating and cultivating a stronger sense of 'self'.
