About me

Hello and welcome

I am an Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist, with a degree in counselling science. I will offer you a warm, confidential space to explore any issues you are currently facing and together we will figure out a way forward so life can feel manageable again.

I work with young people, adults, individuals & Couples and I offer both short term and long term counselling depending on your needs.

Prior to us beginning Counselling, we will meet for an initial consultation. This offers you an opportunity to meet me and ask any questions. If you have never had counselling before it will help to give you a sense of what counselling can offer and understand the way I work as a professional.

I have extensive experience working with :

  • Anger
  • Bereavement & Loss -  natural, accident, suicide, homicide, undetermined, loss of a child.
  • Childhood trauma
  • Depression
  • Domestic abuse
  • Generalised anxiety
  • Negative Thoughts
  • Pregnancy/parenting issues
  • Relationship issues
  • Self-esteem issues
  • Trauma (PTSD)
  • Work-related stress

Additionally, I work with couples experiencing relationship difficulties. If there are individual issues impacting on your relationship, it can be useful to have individual Counselling prior to starting couple therapy.

Together we will work through the current issues you are experiencing.

The benefits of Counselling and Psychotherapy are:

  • An alternative perspective
  • Dedicated time to process and express feelings and thoughts, including anger
  • Self-awareness
  • Self-understanding & self-compassion
  • Building self-esteem & self-acceptance
  • Improved communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to change negative behaviours/habits
  • Relief from depression, anxiety or other mental health conditions, i.e OCD, PTSD, BPD, BDD
  • Increased, assertiveness, confidence and decision-making skills
  • Ability to manage stress effectively
  • Improve problem-solving and conflict resolution abilities.

For a consultation contact me on 07456 016686 to book, or email enquiries via the link above.
