I am flexible around times, however, am not currently working weekends. I do have availability on weekdays and evenings.  

Hello

I understand how starting therapy can be a scary first step, therefore my aim is to offer you a gentle, safe, non-judgemental and comfortable environment for you to explore what may be causing you discomfort. I aim to offer you the space to grow, explore what may be causing you discomfort and reach your full potential and to get in touch with your more authentic self. 

We live in a fast world where sometimes the basics of just being listened to and acknowledged goes amiss and it can also be difficult to speak to friends and family about what is worrying and troubling us. Therefore I hope to offer you that opportunity to be listened to and to help you navigate through those troubles. I would like to help you to live a more confident and content life, by allowing you to address any suppressed thoughts and feelings and learn how to move forward towards a more happy, confident content life. 

A little about me:

I have enjoyed working and supporting individuals from a variety of backgrounds to assist them in improving their lives throughout my previous job roles. As a carer I have supported the elderly, and as a support worker I have worked with vulnerable adults where I helped them to achieve their full potential and improve their daily living. 

During my counselling training I had the amazing opportunity to work with 16-19 year olds, helping them to overcome issues such as anxiety, depression and low-self esteem. I had also worked with healthcare professionals and adults of all different backgrounds and walks of life. I have a special interest in working with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. 

I have always had a passion for supporting others, which I believe comes from myself having to work through challenging times in my own personal life. For me, I found great value in talking to someone who I knew was impartial and just allowed me to explore my what issues I was facing as well as developing myself and to become accepting of who I was as a person.

I am a home-based, Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist (PGDip, MBACP). My practice involves integrating multiple modalities, including Person Centred Theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Attachment Theory to allow myself to adapt my practice to best to suits your needs. I understand that everybody has different needs, therefore I aim to adapt my practice to ensure that you gain the most benefit from our sessions. 

I offer face to face therapy at my home. This begins with a free 20 minute phone consultation which will consist of an informal chat to discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have and so also see if we would like to work together. We will then agree on a time and date to arrange a face to face first session which will cost £50. Please get in touch via email and I will respond with a time/date for an appointment.
