How counselling can help ?

Many of us face a variety of challenges and ups and downs throughout our life. Sometimes the support of friends or families can help us to overcome these hurdles, other times we can manage by ourselves. However, sometimes additional support may be needed to effectively explore or change something in our lives which may be holding us back or stopping us from reaching our potential.

That's where I come in. As a professional counsellor with extensive training and experience, I can help you explore and address the issues that are holding you back, and help you move forward towards greater emotional well-being and fulfillment. Within a safe, warm, friendly and confidential space, I aim to create a working alliance in which we can explore your thoughts and feelings together in greater depth.

What's my approach?

Using an integrative model to counselling practice, I include a humanistic approach which aims to foster and develop a therapeutic relationship within a non-judgemental and empathic space. I specialize in supporting clients dealing with anxiety, depression, abuse, anger management, low self-esteem, family issues, low self-confidence, stress, feeling sad and many other issues.

What to expect in your first session?

I adhere to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy’s (BACP) ethical framework, ensuring safety and confidentiality throughout my sessions. I offer a non-pressure initial consultation in which you may discuss what you would like to achieve from therapy sessions. I will explain how I work and if at the end of the session we are both happy to carry on then we will proceed. If you decide that I am not the right counsellor for you then that is also OK. You can contact me by phone call, text or email. 

Individual counselling is £45 per session
