About me
My approach to therapy is always empathetic and respectful. I believe it is vital to provide a safe, confidential, non-judgmental and comfortable environment where you can come to discuss your problems and issues and in turn make your life happier.
I pride myself in being a friendly, calm, genuine and trusting therapist who works with with all ages, genders and sexualities from all cultural, religious, ethnic and social backgrounds.
Kind Mind can resonate and understand what you are going through as an individual. I will help you identify and understand the best and most positive way to move forward offering confidence, empathy and trust in your therapeutic journey.
Anxiety and stress can often arise due to the issues that are brought to counselling. The techniques I use can help you tackle and alleviate these symptoms of anxious feelings, in order to focus on your presenting issues.
Kind Mind will help develop your ability to accept yourself, explore your emotions and learn new strategies to meet your individual needs.
Training, qualifications & experience
I offer an integrated Person Centred and CBT approach to counselling. My methods also incorporate a holistic and calm style involving breathing, relaxation, meditation, mindfulness and encouraging emotional resilience. I can also offer Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis, REBT and EFT.
I am a fully qualified and accredited Psychotherapist, In addition to this I am also a qualified hypnotherapist. The skills and experience that I have gained through my training and work over the years have enabled me to help others overcome problems related to depression, stress, anxiety, grief, bereavement, loss, anger, self confidence, family and relationship issues to name a few.
Additionally, I work with two different well established organisations, one specialising in helping women who suffer from domestic abuse, violence and rape and the other dedicated to helping those experiencing bereavement, loss and grief. Both organisations have enabled me to gain invaluable experience in some of the most traumatic issues faced by clients. In turn have enabled me to become a specialist in these two fields.
