About me and my practice

Is life feeling just too much to cope with right now? Perhaps you are struggling with grief following a bereavement or another form of loss. Maybe your feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed. Could something from your past be impacting on how you are feeling?

Life has many challenges and when we are struggling it is understandable that we might seek support at those times. I am here to listen and help you. I offer a safe space where we can explore what is going on, assist you gain awareness into what's troubling you and look at what you would like to be different for yourself. My aim is that you will feel heard and understood.

It is my belief that we all have the capacity to change and that the therapeutic relationship built with the client is key to helping bring about personal growth and positive change.

As I believe each person is unique I work primarily with a person-centred approach which is at the core of my work. However as a qualified integrative counsellor I will draw on different theoretical models in order to provide a personalised approach.

Initial Consultation

I appreciate it can seem overwhelming when looking for a counsellor especially if this is the first time you have considered counselling. Therefore to help I offer an initial 20 minutes session by telephone or Zoom. In this session we can discuss why you are considering counselling at this time and how you hope it will help. There will be no charge for this initial session.

Hopefully this initial session will give both of us an opportunity to get a sense of whether we feel we will be able to work together. It does take time to develop the client/counsellor relationship but it is very important that you feel that I'm someone that you will be comfortable working with.
