My name is Tess, I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor (FdA in Arts in Counselling) and I am a registered a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, my hope is that I can provide you with some information that may help answer questions you have about therapy and how it might be helpful for challenges and changes you are currently experiencing.

Through my work with clients I am to create a safe space that allows a person the time, the care and the support to work through whatever it is that they feel is keeping them stuck, causing them sadness, guilt, worry or ways navigating difficult life decisions.

I offer one-to-one counselling in person or online. Here you can be entirely yourself and there is no risk of judgment or discrimination. I am here to listen and help create a relationship that will allow you to find emotional acceptance, growth, authenticity and independence.

I have experienced working with trauma, anxiety, low mood bereavement and loss, attachment and childhood issues, relationship and work related issues. My continued personal development includes recent courses in safe guarding domestic abuse, suicide, adverse childhood experiences, Trauma Informed Therapy and processing Cancer for both patients and family members.

Through my training I have learnt several skills that I believe can help you move through situations you might be finding difficult and together we can develop ways to help you cope better and grow stronger.

My extensive experience in senior management in hospitality over the years has allowed me to work in various roles which include mentoring, developing, coaching and facilitating, all with the focus on helping individuals and groups reach their true potential.

Making the decision to start counselling is significant and potentially has taken time and thought. I am not here to tell you what to do but rather to help you see the bigger picture and connect events with feelings, so that in the future you will be best equipped to deal with life’s challenges.
