Email meAbout me
I work from a Person-Centred approach of counselling and psychotherapy which believes in the uniqueness of all individual. I will work in a non-judgemental way to help you understand yourself better and reach your own solutions to resolve or cope with your situation. Together we will work towards creating a relationship in which you may take responsibility for yourself and positively value and celebrate your differences.
With the use of Person-centred skills and creative techniques, I will be at every step with you, to offer you a safe haven for reflection; to come to your own solutions to alleviate those symptoms of personal distress and suffering; to enhance your well-being and capabilities; and improve the quality of your life and relationships with your family and friends.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have BA (Hons) in Person-centred counselling, which has helped in my understanding of various issues we face in our daily lives, garnered during my training and working with various clients and offering pastoral care to members of my local community.
These issues may include but not limited to depression, anxiety, bereavement, stress, trauma, divorce, etc. Sometimes, we cope with these issues and sometimes we can't, and that is when it starts to affect our mental health. I can't promise to make it all go away but I can help by providing you with a safe space to reflect and be empowered to actualise your potential and improve the quality of your life.
