About me
- Your first step is the bravest -
Hello. Feeling sad, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or daily challenges?
Our time together is in the comfortable and confidential 'pod' in Yaxley, in Peterborough, using video software such as Zoom or outdoor spaces in and around Peterborough for nature based counselling.
There are many reasons why you may want to come to counselling, for release and to feel better with shorter term work, others want a longer-term deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. Whatever it is you are looking for, I can assure you of a non-judgmental and nurturing space to talk and be heard.
If you are coming to terms with a loss, feeling sad or times of overwhelm where you simply feel unsure of what is going on for you, please call or message me.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified, registered and insured therapeutic counsellor with experience of working in the NHS / GP provision, agency setting and private practice. I am trained and experienced with talking therapy, with creative techniques and cognitive behaviour techniques as well as working online and in the outdoors.
I have undergone further training in motivational interviewing, mental health first aid, trauma processing, domestic abuse, self harm, safeguarding, bereavement, Russian Doll therapy and working with suicidal thoughts.
I have undertaken additional training, which allows me to work online, where I use Zoom and have the upgraded professional version which offers more safeguarding.
