About me and my therapy practice

I am an Integrative Counsellor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional offering a safe supportive space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. You may be experiencing a life event, change in circumstances, feel stuck in an aspect of your life or want to explore aspects of your history as you forge your present and future paths. I am here to support you as you explore the elements that have brought you to counselling at this time.

As an Integrative Counsellor my practical and theoretical training is grounded in Humanistic Person Centred, Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis, Existential and Cognitive ways of working. Each of these approaches are integrated into the way I will therapeutically work with you, depending on your own unique requirements. Working with this integrative therapeutic model means I am here to support you in the way you specifically need at this time. Our time together will be informed by your agenda for sessions, not directed by me, or to suit a singular therapeutic approach. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional I am experienced supporting individuals who have been impacted directly by traumatic events, or have experienced vicarious trauma as a consequence of witnessing a loved one or another person in life-threatening circumstances.

Alongside my Private Practice I have worked in a Hospice Bereavement Team supporting individuals adjusting to the death of loved ones, providing support for those experiencing complex grief, traumatic loss or multiple bereavements.

Practice description

I empathise with the strength it takes to start looking for a counsellor, especially as we are often looking for support when we are in the midst of emotional upheaval and conflict. It is important you feel comfortable to develop a supportive, and trusting relationship with me as your counsellor. Within my counselling practice I will always work towards providing you with that safe space and supportive therapeutic relationship. 

My first session

Following a free initial discovery call, during our first session we will work together to establish the expectations we have of working together and to contract the ethical boundaries that will aid you in feeling safely supported within our sessions together. We will explore the circumstances that have brought you to counselling at this time, discussing the hopes and goals you have for the counselling process.
