About me

 It may have felt like a big step  to commence this journey to start counselling,   I would like to help you on your journey with the ultimate reward of changing your life and the way you relate to yourself and others .  
In our sessions we will explore current and past life situations in relation to your everyday experiences,  we will work towards processing  past thoughts and feelings which may still be influencing your life , as past experiences may have been  held in suspension and even forgotten but could  still be impacting you both mentally and  physically influencing your present day life choices and well being .  
This is because the unconscious part of your minds job is to  keep you safe, it is constantly scanning  situations and is ready to leap into action so as to  protect you and keep you feeling mentally safe.  
The past weaves a thread into present day situations , we will work towards understanding what belongs to where by identifying life patterns , we will make  links between the past and  present day.  Compounded emotions can then start to be understood without the reaction loaded by all the baggage that they once held , a thinking mind stays  active , even in times of stress whilst  the automatic unconscious reaction becomes redundant.  Conscious control allows for a space to think and  to feel more calm and measured . 
Working to suit your needs I will draw upon my continued professional training to give you tools to use when  times may feel challenging and thoughts may feel stuck, confused or out of control. We will work together to allow a mental space to develop whereby  reaction can start to slow down and actions can start to be thought about, allowing a thinking mind to remain helping you towards your felt  life's different  challenges. 
At times you may experience an array of different emotions which may feel confusing, overwhelming or impossible to make sense of. Bringing these thoughts and feeling to session will enable us to explore in safety, allowing for  a calm balanced way forward so that new  understandings and awareness can start to create a more positive brighter future in all aspects of your life.
 

Training, qualifications & experience

I  have completed an  Advanced counselling qualification in Psychodynamic Counselling & Psychotherapy accredited BACP course,  I have qualified as a relationship therapist and have studied trauma related anxieties along with  CBT skills ,My professional development and training is a priority and on going.

I have also worked with children and studied with Place2be.

I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs, I will help to facilitate a fluidity of thought working towards self -awareness and resilience in your daily life challenges whereby life patterns can start to be thought about in relation to how earlier life experiences may have woven an unconscious thread that informs and influences present day action and reactions. I have gained experience through working with a variety of different presentations ,anxiety, depression, self-confidence, isolation, suicidal ideation, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, childhood trauma, sexual assault, bereavement, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and domestic abuse.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
