About me
At the heart of my approach is the offer of a therapeutic relationship, a unique opportunity to use real time interactions to gain insights, help make sense of your world and experience change.
Being human brings a range of challenges throughout life. Together, we can explore the challenges you face, whether they arise from within, or from life events. This is based on entering your world together, to see things as you see them and feel them as you feel them. As we do this, it can be helpful to connect with feelings in your body as well as thoughts, images, and different parts of yourself. Working in partnership to set the pace and direction, we can move between past and present, whilst looking to the future.
Before training as an Integrative Counsellor, I worked as a Mental Health Nurse in an NHS Women’s acute Mental Health ward, and then Mother and Baby Unit. This gave me a good working knowledge and experience of medical and psychosocial approaches in mental health. Moving into Counselling has allowed me to expand my knowledge and skills into a more relational and individually tailored way of working.
