About me and my therapy practice

As a low-cost empathetic integrative counsellor, I focus on creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel valued and understood. My approach combines various therapeutic modalities, allowing me to tailor my methods to meet the unique needs of each individual. I actively listen to my clients, using empathy and compassion to help them navigate their challenges. This integrative style not only embraces the emotional aspects of their experiences but also draws from cognitive and behavioral techniques to promote healing and growth. By keeping my services affordable, I strive to make mental health support accessible to a wider community, empowering individuals to enhance their well-being without financial strain.

Practice description

In my practice, clients can expect a warm, confidential, and safe space designed to foster open dialogue and personal exploration. I prioritise creating an environment where individuals feel secure to share their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Flexibility is key to my approach; whether you prefer in-person sessions or require home visits due to being housebound, I am committed to accommodating your needs. Additionally, I offer online counselling options for those who find it more convenient. My goal is to ensure that everyone has access to the support they need, regardless of their circumstances.

My first session

During your first session, you can expect a warm welcome and an emphasis on creating a safe and confidential space for our conversation. I will begin by explaining the counselling process and discussing the importance of confidentiality, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed. We'll take time to explore your reasons for seeking counselling, your current challenges, and any specific goals you have in mind. This initial meeting is an opportunity for you to share your story and for me to understand your unique situation better. I will also encourage you to ask any questions you may have about my approach or the counselling process. Overall, the first session is about building rapport, establishing trust, and laying the foundation for our work together in the future.
