About counselling
The need to meet and connect with other people is a strong human drive and the bonds we form with others can be a source of great comfort, especially during difficult times. Sometimes though, when we are feeling anxious, sad, stressed or just aware that there’s something not quite right, it can be tough to seek support from family or friends. This is where working with a counsellor like myself can really help.
I have personally experienced the transformative effects of counselling, but I know that reaching out for counselling support can feel like a huge, nerve-wracking step for many people. A short, initial chat on the phone may provide you with the reassurance you need to embark on your own personal journey to greater wellbeing. I provide a warm, confidential and reflective space for you to explore the difficulties you may be experiencing. At the heart of my approach is the belief that together we can create awareness and understanding of what's causing your current discomfort. I can then support you in making the changes necessary to help restore greater balance, peace and happiness in your life.
As a Humanistic, Integrative counsellor, I work with clients to help them develop better self-awareness and a clearer understanding of their difficulties. Working collaboratively, I help clients discover aspects of self that might be contributing to their discomfort and then support them in enabling them to make changes. All individuals are unique and so I use a range of therapeutic techniques to suit each client and their particular needs. I offer open ended counselling, so this ranges from a few sessions to longer term work depending on a client’s needs and what is agreed. I have experience of working with adults and young people (16+), helping them with a range of issues.
I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and committed to their high standards of professional conduct, good practice and the Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. I participate in regular professional development training to ensure my practice is both current and continually developing.
