About me and my therapy practice
I am an experienced qualified counsellor and have been in practice since 2010, having worked for the NHS as well as private and charitable organisations.
At times we can find aspects of our life challenging and overwhelming, this may be as a result of life events, illness or past experiences.
Through providing a safe and non judgemental space to talk about and explore these in more detail, counselling can help you to find strength and resilience to manage and move forward.
Practice description
Using a variety of psychological techniques including psychodynamic counselling CBT, person centred and EMDR and through listening to and learning about you I can support you to understand and manage your difficulties and explore and develop ways to cope with them.
During times of anxiety and stress it can be difficult to make sense of things, counselling can provide an opportunity to explore and understand your situation and I will work with you to gain this understanding and develop techniques to help you to maintain this going forward.
Often childhood events and experience can affect how we deal with situations as adults. I offer a safe environment to work through adverse childhood events to enable you to cope with your distress and to heal past traumas.
Anxiety and low mood are common and can be debilitating, often having severe impact on our day to day activities, social interactions and relationships. Using therapy sessions to gain understanding and exploring self help techniques can help to get symptoms under control and develop ways to prevent relapse.
