About me and my therapy practice
I am an integrative counsellor working across multiple modalities; our work will be bespoke suiting your personal needs and circumstances.
I believe that relationship is the most important aspect of therapy. Clients have described me as both non-judgemental and approachable. I know that working collaboratively, in a supportive and understanding environment will give you the space to gain personal insight and build your self-esteem.
I will support you to manage stress, trauma and aid in empowering you to make decisions that create a happier and better you.
Reaching out is the first step.
Practice description
Do you feel as if you are treading water or as if you might be pulled under? Are you struggling to cope with feelings of overwhelm or loss?
Counselling can feel like a lifeline, helping you to understand and explore what is important to you, supporting you in communicating your needs and experiences to others better and helping you to set goals for a more hopeful future.
Whatever has brought you to talking therapy, I offer a safe, confidential, therapeutic space where we will work together, to explore the aspects of your life that are concerning you.
My first session
I provide an initial free 20-minute telephone or Zoom session, where we can introduce ourselves. I can explain how I work, aspects of confidentiality and answer any questions that you may have.
