Welcome
I am here for you in your journey towards greater wellbeing.
My specialisms include working with anxiety, low mood, addiction, bereavement, and trauma including from interpersonal abuse and violence. I also specialise in working with neurodivergent clients.
I understand that our emotional, executive function and sensory regulation systems can vary and aim to support clients to better understand themselves in order that they feel affirmed and understood.
My approach is to create a space for us to work together in acceptance and compassion so that difficulties can be worked through at your pace.
I am a member of BACP and accredited with the International Coaching Federation.
How counselling works
Counselling works by offering a space to talk with a supportive and empathetic therapist to allow you to sort through and make sense of what you feel, what has happened to you and, with this awareness, in time, it can help you to feel empowered and explore new ways of doing things.
Rather than seeing mental health as an “in person” issue, we now see mental health as being connected to what has happened to us and what supports have been available to us especially in our earlier years.
A key element in the success of counselling is that the client experiences the counselling relationship as supportive and helpful, feeling that they are able to say everything they need to say, and are heard, and also able to share about how they are experiencing counselling and the counselling relationship too.
I offer a free initial 15 minute chat online for you to find our more about how we could work together and to share about your goals for counselling.
If you would like, we can then arrange an initial session to start working together. We can work together for a short period or a longer period of time depending upon what you are looking to achieve.
Sessions would usually be weekly at the same time and sessions last 50 minutes. I am offering online sessions and payment is required in advance of the session.
