ABOUT ME
I have worked within the education sector for over 20 years supporting young people, families and colleagues. I have also worked as a counsellor for a family based charity. I am constantly learning and updating my knowledge with interest. Counselling and energy work is who I am not just what I do.
I am passionate about the power of counselling, and enjoy working with a diverse range of people. I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community and have worked with clients wishing to explore their gender and/or sexuality.
My training and counselling approach is humanistic grounded in Transactional Analysis, which focuses on our internal and external communication, allowing us to identify patterns and deepen self awareness, to empower you to make decisions and identify any changes you wish to make.
My practice is underpinned by the ethical guidelines as outlined by the BACP, I receive regular clinical supervision and undertake further training and reading to continue to develop my practice.
I am adaptable in the way I work and aim to match your pace. I have experience in working with a variety of ages and issues.
ABOUT COUNSELLING
Counselling is a unique space to explore thoughts, feelings and experiences without judgement. It can aid personal growth and positive change. It is a space in which you can be heard and you decide what you want to get from the sessions.
Aside from creating a safe space to talk, counselling can give you tools to help you to navigate challenging times both now and in the future. Counselling is not a quick fix but can help you make informed choices to positively impact your life.
If you are feeling stuck, needing to make changes but are unsure how or what, or have an event that you cannot move on from, counselling can help you. It is like tipping out a box of jigsaw pieces, having a look and piecing them together to make a clear picture.
This is my therapy room. Environment is important to me and I created a space with nature and peace in mind.
TESTIMONIALS
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works, or to arrange an initial assessment appointment. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to counselling, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
I aim to reply to all enquiries within 24 hours, please check your spam folder if you have not received a reply.
All contact is confidential.
Counselling sessions for individuals last 50 minutes, usually taking place on a weekly basis, and cost £55 per session. I also provide a limited number of spaces for those on low-income or for students; contact me to enquire about availability.
This is why it feels important to offer a free introduction, there is no commitment and you can ask any questions you might have.
That depends on your individual needs and what you want to work on. I see both short term (6-12 weeks) and long term clients (1+ years). We can discuss and review it as we work together.
I aim to offer an initial session within 1-2 weeks, that might depend on how full my practice is at that time and on your availability. Please contact me for more information.
Everything that is said within the counselling room is private - this is one of the main ways counselling and therapy differ from talking to a friend or relative. I might talk about something you have brought to counselling with my clinical supervisor, but this information is kept within the professional setting and surnames are not disclosed.
Note that there are some situations where you may be a risk to yourself or others, and there the law requires that I notify an authority; in these cases I may not be able to keep total confidentiality. Breaking confidentiality is very rare though, and only happens after the person concerned has been informed.
Usually I am asked this question by people who are nervous about entering into counselling, or when they are looking for support in coming to see a therapist. This anxiety is understandable, but a key aspect of therapy is that you should feel free to talk about any issues you feel are important to you. Having someone else with you who can be connected those issues makes this opening-up more difficult, so for this reason I do not see clients accompanied by friends or family.
