I work with adults of any age or gender who need a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental counsellor to talk to.

I also have a special interest in working with:

• Young people (18 - 24) who may be experiencing feelings of depression or anxiety related to issues such as academic pressure, family and relationship issues, eating difficulties, feeling stuck or confused or uncertainty about future life choices.
• Anyone who is feeling overwhelmed with the pressures of life or work and who may be experiencing burnout.

I am also a professionally qualified and coach with over 12 years of experience. In that time I have worked with clients on issues such as developing confidence, being more assertive, time management, public speaking and managing difficult working relationships.

Clients tell me that I am warm, kind, non-judgmental and easy to talk to, especially after taking that difficult first step to contact a counsellor in the first place.

I'm an integrative counsellor, which means I draw on a broad range of therapeutic approaches such as humanistic, mindfulness based cognitive therapy, Transactional Analysis, Existentialism and contemporary attachment theory.

Here is the framework that I use, which will be tailored to suit your specific needs:

Exploration and connection:

• Starting our therapeutic journey by getting to know each other and understanding the reasons you're here.

• Creating the conditions for you to feel safe, build trust and develop a strong therapeutic relationship.

• Exploring your personal history and experiences that have shaped you.

Addressing Immediate Challenges:

• Focus on managing specific issues such as panic attacks, anger, or insomnia together.

• Where appropriate, offer practical insights to help you understand and navigate these difficulties.

Deepening Understanding and Empowering Change:

• Explore what is under the surface what is troubling you, for example, increasing awareness of patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that may have served you well in the past, but are now problematic.

• Uncover personal values to guide decision-making and collaboratively identify achievable changes in line with those values.

• As therapy comes to an end, reflect on your progress, what are you taking away from our work together that can support your ongoing personal growth.

Where appropriate, I also incorporate coaching into counselling, for example setting goals and aiding in difficult life decisions.

No matter what issues you bring to our work together, my aim will always be to help you make those first steps on your own upward spiral and help you live a happier, healthier life. 

I offer a free 30 minute, no obligation, initial consultation either in person or online to help us decide if we'd be a good fit to work together.

This session is for us to spend some time getting to know each other, to talk about what brings you to counselling at this time and what you'd like to be different.  It's also an opportunity to ask me any questions that you may have to help you decide if I am the right counsellor for you.
