About me and my therapy practice
I am a person centred counsellor offering both online and face to face sessions in Lincoln.
This means I am here to listen to you and be guided by you. I believe in creating a non-judgmental and empathetic space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of criticism. I am able to offer you a safe and confidential space for you to share your story, whether this be to improve your personal well-being, explore a past trauma or simply a space to talk. I have experience in a wide range of things including relationships, depression, anxiety, stress, issues at work and sexual abuse.
My goal is to help you gain insight and develop coping strategies to improve your overall wellbeing, whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and much more.
Practice description
My counselling style is grounded in evidence-based theories and skills that are tailored to your unique needs.
I am trained in multiple theories having completed the Diploma in Counselling Skills and theories and therefore practice as an integrative counsellor as well as person centred.
I also have a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and also have experience of working with exposure therapy (using visualisation techniques) to help with phobia and anxiety disorders.
I also have a certificate in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy which means I can work with you and help with new techniques to help manage / regulate emotions if these are becoming overwhelming for you. DBT is great for issues such as BPD, self-harm, depression, anxiety, addictions and PTSD.
