About me
I am a warm, caring person and counsellor and have always found it natural to empathise with others, encouraging them to express their feelings. I am interested about how someone is 'feeling on the inside' , encouraging them to be curious about themselves while offering support.
I find that my life experiences, and my career allow me to connect and work collaboratively with clients. I have particular experience with counselling clients suffering from reduced confidence, low self-esteem, medical issues, bereavement and loss.
As a counsellor, I believe the most important skill is listening to the client, allowing them time and space to figure out how best to help themselves, while figuring out the meaning behind some of their experiences. After all, everybody has a story and everybody's story is so important.
Training, qualifications & experience

Further information
I am happy to have a chat with you over the phone (no charge), in order to find out what is troubling you and why you want to have some support and counselling. It is important that you get the right support. You can then decide if you want to start counselling, as it is very important that you feel comfortable.
