About me and my therapy practice
Hi, I am a person-centered counsellor providing non- directive, supportive, confidential therapy in Hereford. I take pride in helping my clients to feel safe, calm, comfortable and most importantly heard whilst exploring their innermost thoughts and feelings.
I am passionate about supporting people who are struggling with life now and with issues from their past. My counselling practice is grounded with knowledge from working in mental health agencies & St. Michaels Hospice. I have extensive experience in supporting clients dealing with grief, sexual/physical abuse, addiction, depression and anxiety helping them to cope and live a fulfilled life once again.
I provide a relaxed, flexible, friendly atmosphere where I can establish a unique style to suit your requirements to enable positive change and healing.
If you are going through a difficult time, don't be alone, we can face whatever you are going through together.
I can support you with many things that life throws at us, such as loss of a loved one, infertility, miscarriage, relationship issues, woman’s issues, sexuality, identity questions, health concerns and anything that you need to talk about.
If you are struggling or frustrated with feelings around sadness, anxiety, stress, trauma, anger, loneliness, despair, grief or suicide ideation, I will listen with an empathetic approach offering reflection and support to allow you to personally repair and grow.
I understand how challenging life can become at times and will support you in finding the power to achieve a more satisfying life. I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood and respected because and I think each individual has their own answers.
Practice description
I specialise in person - centered therapy providing safe, confidential, non-judgemental conditions. I believe everyone is capable of finding their own answers for future success. I also use the integrative approach to incorporate CBT techniques and Psychodynamic therapy to support my client's unique issues to find solutions and clarity to help them live a fulfilled life again.
My counselling room is a warm, comfortable, bright and welcoming space in the town centre of rural Herefordshire. I offer face to face, On-line, Telephone, home visits and walk and talk sessions.
I offer a free 15 minute phone or online chat where we can chat to establish what you need and the kind of therapy I offer. This time gives you space to ask questions/concerns you may have about starting therapy. After this time it gives you a chance to see if we could build a therapeutic relationship.
My first session
Before the first session I will send you my counselling agreement, contract and privacy statement via e-mail for you to look at. Then at our first session we will sign all the documents together for my records, which I will store in a secured locked cabinet. On-line and telephone clients can do this electronically.
During our first session there will be an assessment. This is where you can share an insight into the difficulties and concerns that are impacting your life. This will allow us to establish what you would like to achieve from therapy and what I can offer to meet your unique needs. We will then begin your session where you will feel relaxed to share your thoughts and feelings so you can start your healing process.
