About me and my therapy practice
I currently work nationwide online.
Practice description
I am an integrative Counsellor, I work on the principle that it’s not a one size fit all deal. We are all unique and individual, processing emotion and thoughts in our own way.
As an Integrative counsellor I am trained in a few modalities of counselling in order to best fit the individual and their circumstances, what works for one may not work for another. I truly believe the relationship within the counselling space has an impact on the work, and building a healthy relationship together aids the therapy. Whether it be bereavement, grief, anxiety we can find a way of working that connects for you. Sometimes life happens, and our experiences tend to knock us off course often leading to feeling ‘ stuck’, having conflicting feelings or even an intrusive mind. Through our work you will become aware of your relationships, limitations, needs, and your relationship with yourself and how to improve on them.
I have worked with Charities both in and out of primary care supporting a range of mental health concerns over the years, and comfortable working both short and long term. I also work in EAP providing short term support for healthcare, Government providers and organisations.
You don’t have to be at rock bottom to seek help but, if you are and wanting to explore and heal we can do this together.
My first session
When Enquiring please state days and times that work for you as I have limited availability at present. Initial response to enquiries will be made via email. We will initially arrange a brief 15/20 minute telephone discussion to enable you to establish what I offer in my practice and see if thats what you are needing/wanting. This is an important first step to establishing whether we can imagine a relationship together. The relationship between Counsellor and Client is an important one that can have an impact on the work. The therapeutic relationship is fundamental for any positive change to occur. It is through this connection that successful therapy can be found.
Before your first counselling session, you will be sent a copy of our counselling contract. This outlines my professional commitment to you and confirms the boundaries of our work together.
At your first session we will discuss the contract providing an opportunity for you to ask any questions or seek further clarification.
Reviews are undertaken regularly to ensure that we are working towards your goal and making progress in your concerns.
