I am a registered accredited member of the National Counselling Society and the Association for Coaching.
My aim is to offer a compassionate, nurturing and supportive environment to enable you to unpack whatever it is you need to address and ultimately find some inner calm, peace, resolution and contentment or acceptance and deeper understanding of yourself and others.
Therapy, whatever that looks like for you, can help to better understand what might be going on for you, and it can help you to process painful or confusing feelings and emotions, and gain new perspectives.
I work with my clients to enable them to help and understand themselves better, by giving them tools to use when they are feeling stuck, disempowered, unsafe or ungrounded, which in turn can give them a sense of control, direction, safety and inner calm.
Gaining clarity and a different perspective on the life you have and the experiences you have been through can lead to dramatic changes, and realising that you hold the pen, which will write your story and your future can be extremely empowering.
In our work together you may discover what really is important to you and why, which may help you to discover the areas in your life that you would like to improve.
When we understand ourselves, our past and our behaviour better we can then make the correct decisions based on who we are as a person ensuring that those decisions are a fit for us and the life we want to enjoy.
You can expect me to provide a safe and private space for you to talk safely and openly, without judgement, and be compassionate, understanding, honest, professional and empathic.
I understand the importance of finding the right counsellor for you and the importance of being understood.
I believe that there is a great link between mind, body and spirit and I find we often hold the answers we seek inside of us including our own innate ability to heal and overcome adversity, if conditions allow it, and I have seen this in the many wonderful clients I have already had the privilege to work with.
I work with my clients outdoors in nature, via zoom, or at my private therapy room.
I work with a wide range of presenting issues including clients who have ADHD, anxiety, depression, feelings of overwhelm, low self esteem, low self worth, low confidence, trauma, or clients who might be feeling confused, unable to cope and feel that they have nowhere to turn, whatever the reasons may be.
I have first hand familial experience in autism spectrum conditions and ADHD and I understand the complications that neurodiversity can bring. I understand the mechanics behind communication difficulties and relationship breakdown, as well as having first hand experience in understanding why humans may have unhealthy coping mechanisms, and I can help you to understand why you might do this and be a catalyst to making healthier coping choices in life. I have first hand experience of dealing with eating disorders, as a result of poor self esteem, and low feelings of self worth.
I understand the effects that short term and long term chronic stress can have on our minds and bodies and relationships, and I know that this is not to be underestimated.
You may be suffering with stress, anxiety and depression as a result of any of the following
- Trauma
- Neurodiversity (ADHD & ASC)
- Overwork
- Relationship issues
- Communication issues
- Feelings of helplessness
- Fixed patterns of behaviour and limiting beliefs
- Unprocessed feelings of anger, resentment, sadness and other feelings
- Starting a new job or losing a job
- Family conflict
- Bullying and harassment at work
My areas of special interest includes but is not limited to ADHD (diagnosed and undiagnosed), relationships and trauma.
You may be feeling stuck and be looking for a new direction or want to create new opportunities for yourself or just want to be able to fulfil your own innate potential, but not know how or what your next steps might need to be.
Reaching out to someone you have never met before can be daunting and it takes courage to take those first steps.
There is no pressure to continue with our sessions and you can stop at any time you want to, If you are nervous or scared I encourage you to book that first Session then see how you feel afterwards. Clients tell me they often feel better for taking that first step.
I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you.
