About me and my therapy practice
Firstly, a warm welcome. Counselling can feel like a big step, and having questions is perfectly normal. Finding the right therapist is the most important part of your counselling journey. You need to feel understood and safe with your counsellor, to help you explore difficult emotions, feelings and vulnerabilities.
I offer a free 30 minute telephone appointment for us to get to know each other before you make any decisions. Together we can decide how I might help and support you to make positive changes in your life. I am qualified, Integrative Counsellor working with a Humanistic approach. This is informed by theories including Person-Centred, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis. I am also a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I understand that no two people are the same. I work with a wide variety of mental health conditions, but my passion is to work with clients as individuals. You are the expert in your world. I will help you to understand the difficulties you are facing and break down any blind spots using the most appropriate theory and tools.
My integrative training means I can offer bespoke therapy which is most appropriate for your treatment needs. You will be at the centre of the process at all times, and be given choices in how we work. I can help you to understand complex feelings using psychological theories and empower you in making positive changes in your life. We will regularly review your progress and goals to ensure that we focus on the aspects most important to you. I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and adhere to their ethical framework.
