Seeking Therapy can be a huge step, it may be the first time you have ever spoken about your problems and feelings.
Therapy provides an opportunity to talk about yourself and any concerns you have, in a way that often can’t often be achieved with friends and family.
You may be experiencing overwhelming feelings of confusion, anger, depression or be feeling scared, you may be finding it hard to cope.
Together we can:
- Look into the past for answers
- Work in the ‘here and now‘ to change repetitive behaviour
- Look to the future for making and setting goals
Having trained for many years and Qualified as a Registered Integrative therapist, I work with a range of Counselling models which help me to tailor your therapy and achieve the best result for you.
As a Registered Member of BACP and accredited by NCS, I adhere to their professional Ethical and Practice Frameworks, as well as working in a confidential, non judgmental way at all times.
I also have practical knowledge of mindfulness and hold a Certificate in Family mediation from NFM.
