About me and my therapy practice

To experience being heard without judgment with no expectations can be life-changing. It can feel overwhelming to make the first contact, you may have many questions, you may feel an amount of uncertainty, feel nervous or anxious these are normal feelings.

I am here to support, to listen and to be there for you. I offer a warm and friendly welcome whether you choose to have counselling online or face-to-face. I aim to work with flexibility and will treat you with care and consideration of your personal needs from a non-judgemental place. I can offer a one-off session if needed or multiple sessions. A warm and friendly welcome awaits.

Practice description

As a person-centred therapist, my priority is holding a safe and trusting space for you to feel heard and understood. Building a therapeutic connection with you can be the start of change. Building on self-resilience, and self-worth, and exploring values held from childhood into adulthood can be a place of discovery and of who you are as a person. With my lived experience of mental health issues, holding empathy as a key component of my practice. Holding respect and coming from a place of understanding.

My first session

The initial session will be your time to ask me any questions and for me to explain how the counselling sessions will work. I will gain an understanding of what brings you to counselling as well as what your expectations are.

Setting clear boundaries such as confidentiality/limitations will form part of the counselling agreement which we will go through in the first session.
