A warm welcome to my website    
                                                                                                

I a person-centred therapist, and therapy is tailored to your individual needs.  We can consider the initial few sessions as a process of getting to know each other and establishing a trusting foundation where we can discuss and explore your problems.  I will always listen and remain empathic whilst facilitating your process which can be explorative and challenging at times.  

Who I work with 
 
I work with adults and young people regardless of culture, background and gender.  I feel that what clients bring to counselling can be closely related to loss whether it be loss of identity, job, relationship or home, not to mention many other significant life changing events.  However, individuals experience such difficulties in a way that is unique to themselves.  Therefore, it feels important to mention that counselling is tailored to suit you.  If you are feeling in limbo or stuck in a repetitive cycle, confused as to why you have certain thoughts or feelings and want to make sense of your concerns then counselling may be beneficial to you.I assist with a range of issues including the following:

  • Stress

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Work related matters 

  • Low self esteem and confidence
  • Bereavement
  • Divorce/relationship difficulties
  • Physical, emotional abuse and violence
  • Trauma 
  • Identity problems

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).  I have experience of working within the NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service, Brook - sexual health clinic for teenagers; where I maintained many successful therapeutic relationships.   Prior to qualifying as a counselling I worked within the mental Health field where I assessed vulnerable adults for acceptance to the service.  I was able to develop my skills and training in around complex mental health disorders which involved helping client's to establish better coping strategies, develop healthy relationships, gain greater insight into their mental health and minimise risk of suicide.  

More recently I offer therapy on a private basis, and corporately within an Employee assistance programme, for adults who are experiencing work related difficulties.  

My motivation
 
I believe greatly in the effectiveness of counselling based on my experiences of clients and how they have worked through their personal conflict, found resolve and initiated positive life changes.  Experiencing clients develop positively through the process of change provides me with all the motivation I need to practice as a counsellor. I feel privileged to facilitate my clients through their personal journey!
