About me
If you are suffering from anxiety, depression, low self esteem or having relationship issues. I can help.
I am a Pluralist Counsellor, this means I am trained across several different therapy approaches. This allows me to adapt to your unique needs, recognising that different methods may be helpful at different points in your journey. Together, we work to identify what you want to achieve and use the best approach/es to help you get there.
Using these different approaches singally or as a combination allows me to support individuals facing in addition to the above other life challenges such as bereavement, addiction, and trauma. I also offer help with anger management, stress, confidence and family issues.
The different approaches I use are:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Person-Centred Therapy
- Psychodynamic Therapy
- Gestalt Therapy
- Transactional Analysis (TA)
It is an honour to work with individuals and witness how even a few sessions can lead to positive changes in their lives. My aim as a counsellor is to foster hope and provide a confidential, non-judgmental space where we can work together.
One of the key elements of successful counselling is the therapeutic relationship. A good connection is essential so that you feel comfortable and safe in the counselling setting in order to make the positive changes you seek. With this in mind, I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation before you commit. This allows you to determine if we are a good fit to work together. If, after the consultation, you feel we can work together, I look forward to supporting you. However, if you feel otherwise, I completely understand. My priority is for you to achieve the best outcome in counselling, even if that means working with someone else.
