About me
Do you want to understand why you feel or behave the way you do? Do you feel like you want to change or improve something? Are you struggling with some difficult experience or trauma? Whatever has brought you to this point you will get a friendly welcome in a professional and relaxing environment.
I work mainly with adults in Wilmslow face to face and online UK wide.
My clients all have unique experiences, relationships and lives and as an integrative therapist the counselling will be specific for you. You may come to me knowing exactly what you want to work through or you may feel confused, not fully understand why you feel the way you do. Either way it's OK, I will be someone who will be there to help support you through this time and any changes you want.
Together we use the sessions at your pace to work through things, you get the time and space you need. I won't make judgements about you and your life, I will listen to what you have to say and together we will work through the things that are important.
I have years of experience working with different complexities of problems and I work with people on a long or short term basis. Typically people come to me because they seek understanding and want lasting change.
I provide a discrete professional and confidential counselling service. If you have any concerns about confidentiality this can be discussed in a consultation.
Sessions can be face to face at the Wilmslow practice, via telephone and WhatsApp.
I also offer group and individual support for organisations, counselling for staff who need support at work or during periods of sickness/absence. Providing counselling to your staff is tax deductible and can reduce staff absence, assist with those needing help to return to work or for staff in a consultation period. Please get in touch with your businesses individual requirements.
