Further information
I am a home based counsellor working via telephone and Zoom. I have worked as a placement counsellor for Mind since 2018 and have run my own counselling business since March 2020. My theoretical approach is mainly person centered, meaning the sessions are client led, but I also have an intergrative approach allowing for flexibility in sessions. I have experience in dealing with a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationships, abuse, addiction, bereavement and loss, bullying, self-harm, emotional issues and others. I aim to meet my client's individual needs and tailor each session to suit you. I offer a safe, confidential space for you to express your emotions and worries without judgement. I offer a free initial consultation to see if we can work together and I also offer cheaper rates for students or those with low income. I am on the National Counselling Society accredited register which has been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Through my experience I know that life can be overwhelming and can take you by surprise, extra support can offer you a confidential space to explore your emotions and untangle them safely without judgement, allowing you to continue life with a new perspective.
