About me
Online and face-to-face person-centred counselling with support in making changes in your life. “The most painful story is the one that has not been heard.” Maya Angelou
I work with individuals and couples who are having emotional problems such as depression, ADHD, low mood, anxiety or stress in everyday life. For couples, partnerships, affairs and betrayals. Menopause and mental health issues
My theoretical model is Integrative, which enables me to adapt the therapy according to the individual and specific needs of the client. I can bring in other theoretical concepts, including solution- and compassion-focused concepts, to help the client explore what brought them to their current circumstances and move forward. My main theoretical modalities are therefore:
Integrative
Person Centred
Psychodynamic
My expertise is working with individuals or couples who are having mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, and low mood. I have 20 years' experience of working with people with mental health issues. I have successfully supported many clients to live their best life. If you have low mood, low self-esteem, and feel there is no support, I can fully support you to get your life back on track.
I have the skills and abilities, with my calm, empathic and non-judgemental approach. Anxiety can prevent you from getting on with your life. With my approach and expertise, I can support you in getting your life back on track by building your confidence, which will enable you to make a difference and live a better life.
