About me and my therapy practice
My approach ensures the work is all about you, without judgment or opinion. I will walk the path with you, as a person centred counsellor, with empathy, care and reflection to help you process issues and help you understand and validate your lived experience. Our work together will focus largely on self- acceptance, navigation of trauma, to allow healing and self-growth. Counselling enables you to feel empowered to get back on track with life.
I am a level 5 qualified counsellor, with a warm, engaging down to earth approach shaped by years of working with people and from my own lived experiences. I am a member of the BACP, and also an ACTO member - qualified to work with clients online and by phone.
Practice description
I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists and all my work is based around using their ethical framework, ensuring all my work is competent, accountable and credible.
My experience is based around bereavement, suicide, anxiety, loss, grief and health related trauma. I have helped people who are coping with the diagnosis of cancer, living with cancer and working with family members who navigate the path of their loved one with cancer.
I also work with people who find themselves in a tough place and need someone to help them navigate through the difficult times, process their trauma, life experiences and stress. The sessions will last an hour, in a safe, calm confidential environment. This can be done face to face, online - ( I am a member of the Association of Counselling and Therapy Online) or by phone. Whatever is easiest for you.
I also work at Mind, a Charity that helps people who people deal with life's difficulties, and as a counsellor - I help people get back on track, empowering them to make their own decisions, finding their way forward.
My first session
I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation to help you decide if you would like to book a session with me.
If I am the right therapist for you, I will send you some paperwork, including a contract via your email. A counselling contract gives you clear guidelines and secures the work during sessions. All information is held confidentially and in accordance with GDPR.
The first session will help both of us to understand what brings you to counselling and we move forward.
By investing in yourself, it is an empowering and valuable journey that can enhance your life.
I look forward to hearing from you.
