About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I understand that life can be difficult and there may be times when you could benefit from talking to an approachable counsellor. Collaboratively we can explore challenges or issues that you are facing and work towards empowerment for change.
I am a qualified integrative counsellor who is committed to offering you a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space to allow you to explore your thoughts and feelings. I draw upon different approaches which will be personalised to suit you. As every client is unique my approach is based on your needs. I work from a comfortable counselling room in a business centre that has plenty of free car parking and is on a main bus route. I offer day and evening appointments.
I have extensive experience working with clients struggling with anxiety and low mood, my aim is to support clients to gain positive results in overcoming anxiety, low mood and life stage issues through the use of talking therapies.
I specialise in neurodiversity (ASD/ADHD) and offer a therapeutic space for children, young people and adults to develop self-awareness and coping strategies. My work involves understanding the presented behaviours which will then enable changes. The improvement of emotional literacy will enhance relationships, friendships and wellbeing. To enrich the sessions, I use play and creative resources, if relevant, to allow exploration of experiences and emotions.
I work with adults, young people and children, in person, online or by phone. Long-term and short-term sessions are provided. I offer a free optional 20-minute introduction / getting to know each other by phone.

I have worked with a wide range of issues including but not inclusive of autism, ADHD, bereavement, loss, anxiety, anger, depression, abusive relationships, conflict, family problems, low self-esteem/self-worth, sexual abuse and rape, self-harm, disordered eating, body image, building resilience, trauma, infertility, negative thought patterns and intrusive thoughts.
Experience / Qualifications

My first session

If we begin to work together, I will provide you with my therapy contract, which will apply from this point onwards.
