About me and my therapy practice
I am here to offer support with a range of struggles that can impact us all, both mentally and emotionally. These struggles can develop from past/current trauma or from the management of day-to-day pressures that life can bring. We may have people in our lives that we can talk to, however sometimes it helps to speak to someone out-with your circle, who can listen without judgement and support you to fully work through what you need to and help you to develop healthy coping strategies needed to move forward.
I am well qualified and have a range of experience that allows me to best support your needs. I have a Master’s in Counselling , with 15 +years of counselling experience both in the United Kingdom and Australia, supporting a diverse range of clients. My practice is trauma informed and my experience includes work with addictions and abuse. Most recently I have been working in domestic abuse and sexual violence sectors.
Practice description
At the heart of good therapy is the development of a safe and trusting relationship.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental, welcoming place for you to talk and be heard. This is essential in allowing you to develop and explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences.
Working collaboratively would be key in identifying and developing strategies to meet your needs, empowering you as an individual to create change.
