About me and my therapy practice

Do you suffer from high levels of anxiety, self-doubt, and a tendency to be self-critical, blaming yourself for difficulties? Maybe you have high standards, are a perfectionist, and are ambitious in wanting to drive yourself forward, but feel stuck in the past or continually repeat unhelpful patterns? At times, you may well feel lost and confused about how to achieve your goals in life. You may have committed to work on yourself, but feel very alone and 'stuck'. And this negative stress could be affecting your self-esteem, work, and relationships with loved ones and friends. Perhaps, you do not wish to trouble a partner, or a friend, and yet you need support to attract the positive changes you want to achieve in your life. As a BACP therapist, I have the expertise, training and empathy to help you progress.

I work with adults and older teenagers.

How do I work with you as a counsellor?

You are always at the centre of the therapy and so the therapy is bespoke to you, but could explore:

  • how difficulties are impacting on you,
  • processing your feelings,
  • your life story and background,
  • your values,
  • your strengths,
  • what your choices are,
  • your preferred future outcome,
  • and possible actions to realise your goals.

A new, exciting transformation awaits you when you take action.

The counselling relationship

I will form a safe, professional therapeutic relationship with you by accepting you, without judgement, and giving you space to talk about your feelings.

Practice description

You have the potential to heal yourself and refresh your life. I will help you by listening to you with empathy, accepting you fully, and providing a safe space where you can speak without judgment. Through talking, you will gain clarity on your situation, become more aware of your choices, and feel able to work towards your goals. 

 I have training in a variety of counselling approaches: pluralistic counselling (which focuses on your goals, strengths, and inner resources); existential counselling (exploring what is meaningful to you); CBT strategies (finding alternative thinking pathways to help you address issues); and creative methods (for example, using narrative or card tasks or art to help you re-frame events or find calm). I may also draw on mindfulness strategies and visualisation techniques enabling you to imagine a desired future pathway. Every client is unique and so my approach is bespoke to them.

What to expect from me?

  • Careful listening and empathy,
  • respect,
  • confidentiality,
  • a strong therapeutic relationship,
  • encouragement, warmth and support.

My background.

My background is in developing people as a highly experienced teacher and also a leader (in middle management roles). Given this, I have over 25 years' experience in helping people learn and in facilitating personal growth and development.

My first session

In our first session, I will ask you what the difficulties are and what your goal is. We will agree a counselling contract. I will ask you to give an overview of life events- but no detail, and will ask you if you have had counselling before and how you found it. I will be kind and offer a safe and confidential space for you.

Clients find me warm, kind and supportive and I will give you the space you need to talk & to process your feelings.
