About me
How I work
Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety or low mood? Are you feeling stressed or having problems within your family or relationships? Do you feel confused at why you feel the way you do? I offer a confidential space for you to be able to share and explore these thoughts and feelings. I work with adults and specialise in working with young people/children from 12 years of age.
I am a Psychotherapeutic counsellor and work in an integrative way which means I draw from a variety of different approaches to bring you the therapy that best supports your needs.
I believe very much in the client counsellor relationship and the importance of building that trust to explore what is going on for you. To have that rapport means you can really work on and through the issues that you are experiencing. I hope by offering you a non-judgemental, supportive environment you will be able to open up and we can explore together what you are struggling with.
I never tell you what to do, or what not to do, but may offer a different perspective, give you information or explore new ways of thinking. Just by speaking about what is troubling you can sometimes be a relief and can feel like a weight is lifted.
How the sessions work and what to expect
I offer a free 20 minute initial phone conversation so that you can make sure I am the right counsellor for you.
Each session is up to 50 minutes and the number of sessions depends on what issues you are dealing with. I offer short or longer term therapy, depending on your needs and goals. This can be discussed on booking sessions.
It can be a big challenge in taking those first steps in looking for help. But, I hope, by offering a congruent, warm, trustworthy space for you to talk, it will enable you to take those first steps to a brighter future.
