About me and my therapy practice
As a fully qualified integrative counsellor, I anchor my practice in the person-centered approach, fostering a therapeutic relationship built on warmth, compassion, respect, and trust. Within a confidential, nurturing, and non-judgmental environment, I offer you the space to explore your feelings, emotions and behavioral patterns at your own pace.
I have extensive professional and personal experience working with people with life changing chronic illnesses and disabilities including but not limited to;
- ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Fibromyalgia
- Diabetes
- Arthritis
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Wheelchair users
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Cancer
- Gastrointestinal Disorders
- Visual Impairments
- Brain Injuries
- Spinal Injuries
Whether you're grappling with a diagnosis, awaiting one, or struggling to adapt to life with a disability, I'm here to help you navigate the intense emotions and challenges that accompany such circumstances. These emotions may include;
- Grief and Anger
- Relief and Sadness
- Hopelessness and Despair
- Frustration and Fear
- Depression and Loneliness
My dedication lies in empowering individuals facing these situations, supporting you in rebuilding shattered self-esteem, challenging negative and anxious thoughts that may be preventing you from reaching your potential and enjoying your life as well as fostering a sense of control amidst overwhelming changes. Together, we'll work towards rediscovering joy and embracing the possibilities within your new reality.
I also work with issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger issues, family conflict, self harm, PTSD and trauma as well as complex personality disorders and those who identify as neurodivergent.
