About me and my therapy practice
Pleased to meet you! My name is April, and I am a pluralistic counsellor practicing fully online.
Whether you're looking to bring about positive change, alleviate the pressure of the past, or work toward new goals, I hope to help you achieve what matters to you. I practice with a combination of techniques from person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT approaches.
I work with issues including trauma and grief, difficult relationships, unhelpful habits, and struggling with big changes. I have experience in working with LGBTQIA+ issues and I work from a trans-inclusive, gender diverse and feminist perspective.
I provide a warm environment in which clients can feel accepted and safe, and I work to support you in your journey and change.
Practice description
I am guided by what matters to you, and I provide warm acceptance for wherever you're at. I work collaboratively, so that everything goes at your pace and so that you feel satisfied with our sessions.
I will offer you ideas and tools as we go through the sessions, which you can use or decline according to what works for you. This means that you can build skills as we work, increasing your confidence and abilities to navigate difficulties.
I work to provide a space which is accepting of all genders, sexualities, racial identities, abilities, neurodivergence, and personal identities.
My first session
I offer a free 15 minute introductory session, in which you can get to know me and decide whether to go forward with a full session. We can talk about your hopes for therapy and the difficulties you are facing, and you can see if I am the right fit for you.
In the first full session, we will have a look at what's bringing you to therapy, and examine what is happening in your life that may be contributing to feelings of stress, low mood or worry. We can talk about anything you want to process from the past, and coping techniques for managing day to day.
We will look at your needs and what you want from therapy, and come up with a plan together which suits you.
