About me
Hello and thank you for looking at my profile.
You have taken a brave step, something has brought you to this moment, to seek support and address whatever is troubling you. Maybe you are feeling isolated and lost by your experience? Perhaps you feel you have come to this point many times before, but things seem to resolve themselves over time, but them come back to snap at your heels when you least expect it? Perhaps you have known for a long time you need to address something, but have kept putting it off? I think many of us can relate to these experiences. I hope that you will find what you read here helpful and that you are able to take the next step toward resolving those areas.
I am passionate about helping people to connect with that part of themselves that may feel stuck, in order to reconnect with the psychologically healthier part of themselves that is temporarily hidden to them at this time in their lives. I realise that it isn’t easy to reach out for help, especially when the person we reach to is a stranger. I am always mindful of this each time I start working with someone new. I am also mindful that trust needs to develop within the therapeutic relationship for me to truly assist you in rediscovering your own ability to find the solutions to your issues. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental and supportive approach that is respectful of every individuals unique and specific journey to arriving here, at this point in their lives. I am able to adapt my way of working in order to meet their specific needs and so enable them to begin to move forward.
Training, qualifications & experience
Certificates in Counselling Studies (Level 2 and 3)
Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
Therapies Offered
My core, theoretical model is Integrative, which enables me to adapt the therapy according to the individual and specific needs of the client. In this way I can bring in other theoretical concepts, which are solution and compassion focus concepts to enable the client to explore the things that brought them to their current circumstances and thus enable them to move forward. My main theoretical modalities are therefore:
· Integrative
· Person Centred
· Psychodynamic

The first session is an assessment,.
