• Remote (Zoom)/Telephone counselling Thursdays and Fridays with various times currently available.

 I am a qualified Humanistic Integrative counsellor, which means that I believe that you know yourself better than anyone and have free will, so allow you to guide the sessions. I listen to whatever you choose to bring to our sessions and provide a confidential, empathic and non-judgemental space. I may draw on other counselling approaches depending on your needs. 

Counselling is not about giving you advice or telling you what to do. My goal is that you use our therapeutic relationship to be able to reflect and explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviour and to express yourself freely. I offer short or long-term work with weekly sessions lasting 50 minutes. 

Previously I have worked with clients bringing issues such as: Anxiety, Anger, Abortion, Abandonment, Bereavement, Cultural issues, Depression, Domestic abuse, Loss, Relationship issues, Sexual abuse, Suicidal Ideation, Self-esteem, Sexuality, Stress.

I offer a free 15-minute conversation by Telephone or Zoom so that we can discuss what has brought you to counselling and how I might support you. If we both decide to proceed, we can book you in for an initial assessment session. If I am unable to support you, I will signpost you to the relevant professional/organisation who I feel would be better suited to your presenting issue. I’ll send you an initial session form, where I’ll need details such as your GP surgery and I’ll also send you a Counselling Agreement form.

In our initial assessment session together, I’ll ask questions to gather more information regarding your needs and background. This is also an opportunity to decide if you would like to continue with counselling with me.
