About me and my practice

I am a qualified and registered counsellor with nearly 15 years of experience working with adults with a wide range of concerns.

My core approach is client-led but I integrate other styles of therapy into the work, predominantly Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused.

My therapy style is friendly, empathic, and interactive. The person-centred approach values you as the expert of your life but I am there to guide you through your own thoughts, feelings, and emotions. You will be treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels so I will be non-judgmental.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I know that personally! However, my empathic, warm, and caring character, along with a safe and welcoming environment, will support, encourage, and ultimately empower you to reach the potential you wish and gain a new perspective on life.

Experience

I have worked voluntarily for several organisations which look after informal carers. I gained wider experience when working voluntarily for an independent counselling organisation where I saw people with a wide range of issues. This, alongside, my receiving counselling myself, has given me the experience and the skills to work with people and enable them to reach their full potential, for themselves.
