About me
As a trauma-informed therapist with cerebral palsy, I truly believe in everyone’s natural ability to grow and create meaningful change. My goal is to establish a warm and safe space where clients can feel comfortable exploring their inner thoughts and emotions. I strive to help them pinpoint and confront the personal challenges they encounter, whether these arise from past experiences, present issues, or future doubts. Using empathetic listening and customised therapeutic methods, I motivate clients to examine their feelings, beliefs, and behaviours. Together, we will cultivate resilience, boost self-awareness, and empower individuals with the skills and strategies necessary to flourish in their lives. I focus on five essential principles: safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness, and empowerment in my work. My expertise lies in Disability Counseling and Trauma-Informed Therapy. I recognise that your life experiences are unique, and by respecting them, we can embark on the path to recovery.
Training, qualifications & experience
Since qualifying, I have worked with many individuals with a wide range of issues, including grief, depression, and anxiety. In addition to my private practice, I also worked for Rotherham Abuse Counselling Service (ROTHACS), assisting individuals dealing with various forms of abuse, whether physical, sexual, or otherwise. I have also worked with individuals with disabilities on numerous matters, both directly and indirectly related to their disability. As a therapist with cerebral palsy and a wheelchair user myself, I find that my understanding can enhance my awareness when helping individuals navigate what they bring.
