Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ

I work on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

My hours are 09:30 am to 12:30am and 16:00pm to 20:00hrs.

Available for new clients.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and a member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ.

My background is nursing for over 30 years. I have supported patients and families come to terms with their illness and loss and have watched them move from a place of despair to Joy. Having worked in such a stressful environment I understand the internal and external pressures that people experience and the unhelpful or damaging coping strategies which they adopt. My background has given me the skills to listen, understand, communicate, and relate with different groups of people. As a counsellor I have also worked with NHS clients using the IAPT system and Low cost clients.

I am an integrative counsellor which means that I incorporate an appropriate relationship by using theories from other disciplines, such as the Psychodynamic which looks at your past and TA which helps clients build their relationship in a better way. The Person-Centred relationship helps me to journey with you as we explore what is going on in your life. I will support you in an unbiased way to make, the changes that may help you move towards your personal growth. Transactional Analysis will help you understand yourself, how you relate to others and help you build healthy relationships. I also incorporate methods that help you understand how your childhood has an impact on you today.

I also use different creative styles in my work to enable you to explore and understand yourself and your situation better.

The first session will be a 30-mins assessment with you, it will be the ‘get to know you’ session, where we will discuss your reason for counselling and whether my approach will be appropriate for you. 

We will also go through an agreement form to understand each other’s expectations.
