About me
Taking the first step to seek help is a brave and important decision, and I want to make this process as comfortable as possible for you. I offer a calm, confidential, and safe space where your thoughts, feelings, and experiences will be valued. Within this environment, you will be listened to without judgment or pressure to talk about anything you're not ready to share.
As an integrative counsellor, I am trained to adapt my approach to best suit your individual needs. I draw from various therapeutic models, including Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis (TA), and Psychodynamic Theory, to ensure that our sessions are as effective and meaningful as possible.
I work with individuals facing a range of challenges and mental health concerns, including family conflict, stress management, anxiety, depression, low mood, relationship issues, domestic abuse, self-esteem, life transitions, infertility, grief, and bereavement.
With over 17 years of experience in social care, I have witnessed firsthand the struggles people can face and the profound impact they can have on their well-being. However, I have also seen the positive changes that can occur when individuals find a supportive and understanding relationship. My work with young people has been especially rewarding, and I am passionate about creating a space where they feel respected and valued.
I am also committed to supporting professionals in the social care sector, understanding the pressures and emotional challenges that come with this demanding field. Having a counsellor who understands the unique stresses of social care can make all the difference.
I offer both short-term and long-term counselling, depending on your needs, and work with both adults and young people.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more, please feel free to reach out, and I will be happy to provide more information or answer any concerns.
