About me and my therapy practice
It can be a tremendous relief to find someone who can truly listen and understand you.
Counselling can feel like a big step; and you may be feeling unsure and anxious.
I would like to offer you a safe place where you can begin to share your experience and express your thoughts and feelings.
Working in a non-judgemental way, I will follow your pace, and support you as you begin to make choices that can improve your well-being, confidence and sense of authentic self.
Through the safety of the counselling relationship, you can begin to experience a self-acceptance that can lead to a more meaningful and fulfilling existence.
Practice description
I work with individuals who are struggling with relationship and communication problems, bereavement, chronic illness, having a baby, children leaving home, or the transition between school and work/college or university.
I have over 12 years experience as a counsellor; I currently work with adults and young people over 16.
As well as my counselling qualifications, I also have a degree in Art, enabling me to work creatively and with different media. This can be particularly helpful if you are struggling to locate emotions , or are perhaps scared of your feelings; creativity can help to unlock and express these safely.
Neurodiversity
I am highly experienced in supporting people who are Autistic, have ADD, ADHD, and/or Sensory Processing Difference.
You may have a diagnosis, or just have a feeling that you may be 'wired differently'.
I can offer a safe space, therapeutic and psycho-educational support, with strategies that can be very helpful.
My first session
Right from the start, your sessions are for you, to take at your own pace. I will endeavour to help you feel a safe and supported as possible.
I will only ask you a few basic questions. This is your space to tell me your experience.
