About me
I am a qualified Accredited Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with many years of experience. I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds but in particular young people and neurodiversity. I hold an updated Enhanced DBS Certificate.
I work with topics including anxiety, burnout, depression, relationships, childhood trauma, bereavement, self-awareness, emotional regulation, sexuality, processing change, self-harm.
I work online, face to face and via telephone. Face to face sessions are held from West Bridgford.
I work from a pluralistic approach which means I am trained in multiple different kinds of therapy. I get to know each client and their needs and speak with them regarding the approach they would like to take, ie do we work more short-term in handling the current issue at hand or work more long-term to understand the cause and unravel things more. We then work together to pick and choose bits from each school of counselling to help that person achieve their goal.
I have my levels 2, 3, 4 and 5 (diploma) in psychotherapeutic counselling. I have a degree in Theology and Religious Studies and Sociology. I also have A Levels and other qualifications in Psychology, Philosophy, art and English (amongst the standard GCSEs).
I feel that having a good relationship with my clients is key, and so to see if we are a good fit, I like to have a quick chat on the phone first to ensure you are also happy to proceed. This would normally be for around 10-15 mins to get to know each other, chat about what has made you reach out for counselling, discuss how we could work together and answer any questions. This call is free. After this, sessions would be 50 minutes long and are held on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
