About me
Welcome to my profile.
I am a warm and dynamic counsellor offering face to face sessions from my home in Liverpool (L16) or online via video.
I can support you through various challenges and help you to understand what is holding you back from being happy, content and confident in your life.
What I can help with
I work with a range of issues including but not limited to; anxiety, depression, addiction, abuse, relationship conflict or breakdowns, and low self-esteem. I specialise in working with people struggling with low self-confidence, intrusive thoughts or those who need support rebuilding after any kind of abusive or controlling relationship.
I have an extensive career working for large companies as a HR Manager which enables me to support clients with any work-related issues such as; work-place bullying, stress and career transitions. I also offer career coaching.
I offer a non-judgemental, supportive, and safe space for you to explore any feelings, no matter how big or small they may seem. You may be feeling stuck, numb, empty; like you don't fit in or belong, unable to cope or generally not like yourself. You may not even know why you need counselling, but just know that something isn't quite right.
Whatever painful feelings or experiences you are bringing, I will support you to explore what is causing you to feel that way and help you find a way forward.
My approach
I am person-centred in my approach which means we will take a holistic approach to your feelings; exploring your past and any patterns or beliefs that may be holding you back. I will challenge and guide you in the sessions but we will always work at your pace and you won't be pushed to talk about anything you're not ready or able to.
I only ever take on clients that I am confident I can help. However, we will regularly review our work together to ensure that you are getting what you need from our sessions.
Free no-obligation consultation call
I know taking this initial step can be overwhelming and scary but if you are ready to take that leap, then booking in for a free consultation call is the first step. The call lasts about 20 minutes and is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and see how I can best support you. I can answer any questions you may have and then we can get you booked you in for your 1st session and start our work together. Either send me a message or click the 'book intro call' button from my profile.
Practicalities
My practice is located at my home in Liverpool, L16. There is free on-street parking available. Sessions are £60 for 1 hour and are payable 24 hours in advance. I only have day-time sessions available Tuesday to Friday (I don't work evenings or weekends). Face to face or online sessions available depending on your preference.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (governing body for counsellors). I have had a lengthy career, working as a HR Manager for large companies. I have worked as a counsellor both privately and in the voluntary sector.
Being a Person-Centred Counsellor means your needs are at the heart of each session. I believe counselling changes lives and that everyone can benefit from counselling, no matter how big or small an issue it might appear to be.
For me, the most rewarding and enjoyable part of my work, is seeing the relationship clients have with themselves improve. I feel honoured that clients let me into their lives and to be part of their transformation journey.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
