I work on Mondays and Wednesdays and some Friday afternoons. I have some availability currently. 

Do you suffer from overwhelming feelings? I am an integrative counsellor working with trauma - whether from conflict, abuse or other difficult life events. I am a compassionate counsellor and my approach is warm, empathic and accepting. I aim to establish a trusting relationship with you so that you feel safe to explore the issues you bring. 

I have experience working with clients who have complex PTSD, anxiety, depression and OCD as well as those with life problems due to bereavement, divorce, job stress, parenting, difficult relationships and low self-esteem.

I work with clients from different cultures and I also work as a counsellor at a refugee charity. I grew up in the Netherlands, Sweden and the US and then spent seven years in Africa before settling in Oxford in 2001. Prior to working as a counsellor, I worked for charities, teaching and supporting asylum seekers and refugees.

I offer shorter or longer term help. I work online, generally on zoom. Sessions are 50 minutes and usually weekly or else fortnightly.

I can help with talking things through, I can teach grounding techniques and I can offer trauma therapy. 

I have training in Person-Centred Therapy, Gestalt, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Babette Rothschilds' somatic trauma therapy.

It's not easy to find the right counsellor so I offer a free initial 20 minute online session so you can see whether you and I are the right fit.
