About me
Hello, and a warm welcome to my profile.
I offer counselling from my therapy cabin near Tring, serving surrounding areas such as Berkhamsted, Northchurch, Hemel Hempstead, Aston Clinton, Aylesbury, Buckland, Wendover, Leighton Buzzard, Great Gaddesden, Potten End.
I am here to offer you empathy and understanding, without judgement, from the warmth and care of my therapy room. There is nothing you can't bring to our conversation - all feelings are welcome here.
Perhaps something has happened recently in your life, that feels different, feels like the old ways of coping aren't working anymore - and that you might need some help to look at that. Maybe you're dealing with grief, or anxiety, or feeling low and helpless. I'm here for you to share that.
I provide a warm and safe environment to allow you to explore in therapy difficult feelings you may be experiencing, to look at patterns that may be holding you back, family issues you may want to explore, or to simply offload your worries to a listening ear. Perhaps you are feeling some anxiety, or feel you may be depressed. I am here to meet you where you are, and to talk about what you choose to bring.
I offer support to parents of children who are unable or struggling to attend school, often referred to as EBSA / EBSNA (emotionally based school avoidance/non attendance), and who may be exploring emerging needs such as neurodivergence/ADHD/Autism. I offer neuro-affirming support, exploring strategies to help manage life's demands and moving towards acceptance of who you are.
I have lived experience of life's challenges, and have interest and experience in working with challenging relationships, family dynamics, domestic abuse, sexual assault, recent/current or historic abuse and trauma.
I work integratively, which means I work from several different counselling theories including psychodynamic, attachment theory, transactional analysis, CBT, and with a core of person centred. I often use mindfulness as part of my practice and aim to help you develop tools to help yourself.
The relationship between us is the base upon which we will work, and there will be plenty of time for you to ask any questions you may have so that we can both consider if we are a good fit.
Please drop me an email if I can offer any further information. I offer a free 15 minute initial phone call which may be booked in when you contact me.
I also offer RTT - Rapid Transformational Hypnotherapy. Please enquire for further information.
