This service is currently available Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 8am and 8pm. 

Please get in touch for for availability.

As a counsellor for Red Maple Counselling, I  offer all clients a safe, empathic, non-judgemental space to explore, overcome and better understand the challenges and concerns that they are experiencing. 

I support clients who have experienced challenging relationships, family conflict, are survivors of domestic violence and abuse, as well individuals who feel they experiencing low confidence. Another aspect has been supporting clients who have undergone substance mis-use. Further to this, I also work with pregnancy, still birth and infant loss.  Previous client work has involved working in Children's centres.As such, I understand the pressures of raising children in potentially challenging circumstances. 

I have experienced working with culture, identity, parenting, life events as well health-related concerns. My practice has evolved to work with clients from ethnic minority backgrounds and more specifically the South-Asian Community.  I feel that I am able to offer a space to reflect, talk and explore without any fear of judgement or direction. My experience of working in Educational Organisations and with students who have additional support needs has also informed my counselling practice.

The Red Maple Counselling practice is based at the The Well Health Centre. There is a ground floor room used as well as a basement room, accessible by stairs. 

As a person-centred Counsellor, I aim to work collaboratively with you to ensure that you are the centre of process. This means working safely, ethically and without judgement. I am able to consider how our backgrounds and cultural experiences can impact upon the way we experience the world and our relationships with others. As a client, you are offered an experience that is empathetic and individual to your journey.

All clients are offered an initial assessment. These are carried out either via zoom, telephone or face to face in line with social distancing guidelines from August 5th 2020.

This is your opportunity to ask questions, see if I am the best fit for you, and to consider whether you want to access Counselling. 

This is a fifty minute session, to explore and understand what might bring you to counselling and reflect upon how you want to use Counselling. 

My workings days are Wednesday,  Thursday and Friday.

I offer Counselling and Supervision between 8am and 8pm on these days.

I am a Person-Centred Counsellor and Tutor who works with clients to actualise their potential. I have experience as a counsellor in Private Practice in working with diverse range of clients who bring with them a diverse range of concerns.

In working with counsellors in training, I support trainees to be safe, ethical practitioners who work in the best interests of their clients.

I have an interest in working with both clients and supervisees from under-represented communities, to improve access to Mental Health Support.

I have recently completed Clinical Supervisor training. My base Counselling training is very much Person-Centred and continues to involve to integrate other modalities to ensure a supportive, pragmatic, client-centred focus.

My Supervisory way of working uses this as a foundation to combine the use of the Seven-Eyed Model, Carroll's Seven Tasks of Supervision alongside the CLEAR and IDM Models.

My aim is to facilitate a safe, ethical space in Supervision that ensures you gain support, have the opportunity for reflection and feedback whilst developing into the best practitioner you can be. 

During the Initial session, this is an opportunity to determine whether we are the best fit for one another. We can discuss your initial counselling training, the CPD that you may have done,  your practice so far and how wish to develop this moving forward.

Initial sessions are 50 minutes in length and the fee is £30. 

Beyond this, the fee will be determined by whether you're a counselling in training or a qualified counsellor. The time length of Supervision will also the vary.
