About me
Hello, I’m Judith and I am an accredited integrative psychotherapist and counsellor. I have over thirty years of experience working in the caring professions and offer a welcoming, non-judgemental approach. I offer a safe and compassionate space to unload, unpack and untangle. I know it can feel daunting looking for a counsellor but together we can explore any issues that are keeping you from doing the things you want to do and stopping you from having a more fulfilling life. You may not always know what you want from counselling and we can explore that during our work together, this is time for you to be heard and understood.
A therapeutic relationship can be a powerful tool for change and can help you make more sense of what is happening for you. I am curious, compassionate and warm and use an integrative and relational approach. This means that I am flexible in my approach and will adapt it to meet your needs, supporting you through the challenging aspects of your life.
My job is to work alongside you and provide a space where you can talk openly about your thoughts and feelings. Together we can develop strategies to support you during and after the counselling process. If you would like to talk through your worries and what you might need then drop me a message to arrange a chat.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Professional Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and an MA in Education and Guidance and Counselling in Learning. I have extensive experience of working with children, young people and families particularly those with additional needs, neurodiversity and mental health issues. I have worked with adult clients with a range of issues including anxiety, trauma, relationship and family difficulties and low self-esteem.
