My inspiration for this career stems from a desire to connect and communicate with people. This inclination has been a thread throughout my life. Having undertaken Counselling myself I have directly experienced the cathartic and powerful change that it brings about.
Developing a trusting relationship and being aware of what happens between us is core to effective therapy. I work to understand the situation that you need support with and look at how this is impacting your life. We work together to help identify patterns and themes of your view of the world and yourself in it to help you recognise your strengths and talents.
Counselling improves your self-awareness and insight and in doing so this will help you to feel differently about yourself and life. Giving you the space to make decisions differently about the way you respond to life challenges and changes and improve communication with those close to you.
I draw upon a variety of skills and approaches depending on the needs of the client. Using Somatic and mind/body approaches, Psychodynamic framework, IFS parts work, mindfulness, self-compassion and Brainspotting therapy.
Counselling can be a positive way to explore a range of emotional issues and challenges including:
⦁ Anxiety and panic attacks
⦁ Bereavement
⦁ Depression
⦁ Low self-confidence and self-esteem
⦁ Relationship difficulties
I offer both individual and couple/relationship counselling, offering both short-term seeing people from 6-12 sessions or more open-ended work. This is something that we can discuss and decide upon what is best for you. Your counselling is tailored to help you work through the situation that brings you.
I offer both daytime and evening sessions during the week.
In an initial session, I will be able to assess the support I can offer you, this is also a time for you to see if you feel it is right for you. This initial session costs £75 for individuals and £105 for couples.
Each session will last 50 minutes and will be on the same day each week.
