About me
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
Making the decision to have counselling can be a difficult one and choosing the right Counsellor can be a daunting prospect; so am I the right Counsellor for you? I am a fully qualified and experienced Counsellor offering both short term and long term counselling for adults experiencing any kind of emotional difficulties.
Throughout my career, I have supported both men and women who have suffered domestic and sexual abuse and I have experience working with survivors of FGM, Honour Based Violence and Forced Marriage. I work with clients who are experiencing a range of different issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD but this list is not exhaustive.
I have worked in the Judicial system for many years and in Further Education working with students with emotional and behavioural difficulties.
I am an Integrative Therapist which means I use a range of different approaches and adapt them to suit your needs.
I am warm, friendly and honest and can offer you a safe and confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings. I work from a central location along the Seafront in a beautiful building , which provides a peaceful sanctuary.
I offer a discounted rate of £30.00 to student Counsellors
