About me
A friendly approachable counsellor to help you with your mental health issues, from anxiety and depression to the breakdown of your relationship.
I am an experienced trauma informed integrative counsellor, NLP Practitioner and hypnotherapist. This means that I can tailor my approach to the individual needs, issues, and preferences of each client. I ensure a safe, supportive, confidential space where each client feels listened to and understood through the person centred approach. I can then use whichever approach from my counselling toolkit you and I believe will be most effective from NLP, CBT and hypnotherapy to psychodynamic and transactional analysis. Being trauma informed means that I can help you with any traumas without re-traumatising you.
I was a family solicitor for almost 20 years and so am very used to complex emotions, conflict and difficult relationships. I was also a Cruse Bereavement Volunteer for 7 years and so have lots of experience of supporting people with loss and bereavement. I am also a Mental Health First Aider, helping to increase mental health awareness and support in the workplace,
I will be there for you , side by side, for every step of your journey helping you to grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.
