About My Practice

Sometimes it is hard to make sense of things and talking to friends and family isn't enough. I aim to offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can fully explore what is troubling you to bring clarity, empowerment and healing.

I am an integrative counsellor working one to one with adults aged 18+. I use person centred methods to build our therapeutic relationship, which means I hold you at the centre of all we do and you are in control of each session and what we cover. I can use Gestalt, trans-personal and cognitive behavioural therapies where appropriate to best support you.

Sometimes talking is difficult or just isn't enough. I can offer creative approaches such as using imagery, drawing or sand play to help you explore the issue you bring.

I work with a wide range of issues, including bereavement, health concerns, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Sometimes it might be more of a sense of feeling stuck but not knowing quite why that brings you to counselling. Or perhaps you are contemplating a major life change and want some clarity on your decision.

Qualifications

I have a degree in Psychology, and have completed a level 4 diploma in integrative counselling (CPCAB) and a level 5 diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling. I regularly undertake courses to improve my knowledge of specific issues and improve my skills.
