About me
Hello, welcome and thank you for looking at my profile.
I am a qualified integrative counsellor, combining techniques from person centred/CBT/Psychodynamic approaches to meet the individual needs of clients.
Deciding to go to counselling can be an anxious time and it's important to choose the right counsellor for you.
How counselling can help you:
- improved self-awareness
- enhanced coping skills
- better emotional regulation
- healthier relationships
- increased life satisfaction
- reduced symptoms of mental health conditions
- improved problem-solving skills
What to expect in your first session:
- An introduction to the counselling process, my approach and how sessions work
- Explanation of confidentiality and how your information will be protected
- Discussion on family, relationships, experiences and mental health history
- Exploration of your reasons for seeking therapy

I provide a safe and confidential space so that you can fully explore issues and challenges that are causing distress. I can help you to work through specific problems and build on your strengths. By moving forward you will gain new perspective and move towards positive growth.
