About me
Therapy is a safe place for you to talk about what matters to you. Life is a like a game of snakes and ladders; ups and down. It can often throw things at us that affect the way we feel, the way we react, and the way we interact with others. ; It may be something such as abuse, child loss, separation, redundancy, bereavement, or something like an argument or fallout with somebody that plays on repeat in your head, an illness, a difficult time with work, feeling unappreciated or not feeling heard. Seeing a counsellor doesn't mean there's something 'wrong with you', it means you feel you need some support.
Therapy can help you to challenge negative thinking patterns or gain some clarity in a particular area of your life. It can be a space for you to say what you need to say without judgement or criticism. You may feel you're ready to learn new techniques that will enable you to cope better with every day life. You may want to focus on personal growth, but feel unsure how to do this.
It can often feel scary, nerve wracking and sometimes overwhelming talking to a complete stranger, and it's natural to feel that way. I provide a friendly, non-judgmental & safe environment within a warm, comfortable, and inviting counselling room for you to have the space and time you need to focus on you.
I work with individuals (aged 12+) who present with a variety of issues from child loss, bereavement, infertility, abuse (current or historical), anxiety, depression, bereavement, infidelity, low self esteem / self worth & exam stress, etc.
I'm situated close to Junction 4 of the M18, with off-road parking directly outside the property. My counselling room is situated in the garden, with it's own entrance.
I'm a registered accredited member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). I have supervision once a month & have a clear & up-to-date DBS.

Further information
My clients are adults & young people, presenting with issues such as domestic / sexual abuse or violence, anxiety, depression, loneliness, relationship issues, bereavement, loss, self confidence, low self esteem, trauma, stress, & self harm.
My practice is a talking therapy with aspects of CBT, Gestalt & other models of counselling used in sessions dependent on the clients needs.
A client can bring whatever they need to the sessions to enable them to feel calm, relaxed and more open to talking. This is especially useful for my teenage clients.
My practice is at my home address, in a separate building with it's own entrance. There is parking available directly outside.
