    “When we have the courage to walk into our story and own it, we          get to write the ending.” (Brené Brown)

My Approach

We all have different stories to tell, being truly heard as we do so can help us gain a new perspective. Elements Counselling offers a confidential and supportive environment where you can talk at your own pace, safe in the knowledge you will be treated with respect and accepted for who you are.

My Story

It feels like a good place to begin by saying that I too am human, just like you. I face challenges, as you do and I certainly am not perfect. But this is great news because it means I won’t judge you for not being perfect either.

Having worked in a wide range of jobs, I settled in the legal field before jumping into the world of counselling; which I dearly love and in which I feel at home.

I first sat in the counselling chair as a client 8 years ago, probably thinking something similar to you now. My world had changed, I felt beyond stuck. I desperately wanted to move forward but didn’t know how. Counselling made a huge difference to me and became a gift I wanted to share.

I hope this snapshot of me helps you know that you are not alone. It’s not easy to seek support but it is incredibly courageous, and trust me when I say, it can make a positive difference to how you feel and experience the world.

BUT this isn't about me, it's about you and how we can work together to get you where you want to be!

Some of the challenging elements of life which counselling can help us explore are:

* Anxiety            * Confidence       * Depression

* Life Events      * Loneliness        * Loss

*Relationships  * Self-Esteem      * Work

Working Together in Sessions

Above all else, during our sessions together I will listen to you and seek to understand from your standpoint what you are going through. Telling your story can help you gain valuable insights needed to work through the challenges you face. I may also offer alternative perspectives, share practical exercises and academic theories for you to consider which have proved helpful to others.

Integrative counselling brings together elements of different approaches and theories, to allow for our unique lives. The elements of your life you may wish to discuss in counselling are your choice. It may not be easy at times but we will work towards your personal goals, and I will be alongside you firmly rooted in the belief that you can achieve them.

A 20-minute free introductory telephone session is offered to all clients. This is a great opportunity to have a chat about what brings you to counselling in a little more detail.

It's also a chance for you to ask any questions you may have about counselling, but most importantly for you to gauge how comfortable you feel speaking with me.

If you decide to book in for a session, I will send you a short document to check over by email before we meet. This details things such as confidentiality, payment details etc. We will then discuss this at the beginning of a session, I will take a few personal details, offer space for any questions from you and then we will begin to chat about what has brought you to the counselling room.

All sessions are 60 minutes in length and can be booked on a basis to suit you.

My Counselling Room

I want you to feel comfortable in our sessions. My room is set back from the roadside with plenty of natural light with a big cosy chair.  Located on the ground floor there is also a loo next door. 

There is off-street parking available and a secure space for bicycles and there is a bus stop at the road end.

If you want to meet in-person but feel a little unsure after the pandemic please tell how you feel and I will do all I can to make you feel at ease.
