About me and my therapy practice
I have a vast range of experience and have worked with a wide variety of clients who came to me with widely varying issues. I am empathic and caring and will support you on your journey. I am someone who was drawn to counselling from my own experiences. My journey to becoming the fully qualified counsellor I now am, started by volunteering with a grief charity.
I also worked in another local charity for many years. There I helped people suffering from anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction
I have specialisms in Anxiety, Addiction, PTSD and how to deal with Grief, regardless of whether it is due to a natural death, sudden death or terminal illness. I also help people deal with the loss of children, whether it be due to accidental or natural causes, or suicide. I have worked with many Parents to help them rebuild their lives, individually or together.
If your life is impacted by how you are thinking and feeling, therapy can be very powerful in supporting you.
Practice description
I have created a safe calm environment for you to explore your thoughts and feeling. I will be non judgemental on whatever you wish to bring to each session.
I will work with you using a blend of person centred, psychodynamic techniques and CBT. You can research these terms to gain confidence and I will be happy to explain them in our first session, should you wish to.
I believe our past and experiences shape who we are today. We can explore together what experiences have happened to you. This will enable you to work through your thoughts and feelings to enable change.
My role is to support you. I bring warmth, compassion, openness and humour to our work. My hope is that by working collaboratively together you can experience life differently in the future.
My first session
I offer a free 20 minute consultation call with you.
This gives you opportunity to talk in confidence about what it is that has brought you to therapy. Its a great way to introduce ourselves to each other and for you to ask questions about how I work.
