I have experience of working with people from all walks of life who are struggling with a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, relationship difficulties, childhood issues, work issues, low self-esteem, bereavement and loss, long term health issues, anger, lack of purpose, not feeling understood, cultural conflicts, life-transition struggles and the effects of trauma.​

Therapeutic Approach

​

I work as an 'integrative counsellor' which means that I can draw upon a range of different therapeutic approaches in order to support you as an individual.  This can involve helping you to explore your own issues, history, feelings, beliefs, behaviour, values and worldview, so you can become more self-aware and confident in making your own choices.  Sometimes people come to therapy looking for a quick fix but really counselling offers a place for reflection and to make lasting changes.

​

You may not be used to sharing your experiences, thoughts and feelings with another person and that could feel strange or even scary at first.  You may feel overwhelmed and not know where to start.  We can navigate this process together at your own pace.  I bring attentiveness and curiosity but you don't need to share anything that you are not ready to share.  My hope is that I can enable you to freely express yourself with the understanding of being accepted for who you are.  You may have questions and I encourage you to ask and share your feedback with me.  Clients have commented that they find me warm, calm and approachable.

Breathwork

​

As well as being a Counsellor, I am also a qualified Breathwork Coach.  Breathwork is a natural, simple and powerful tool that has the ability to transform your wellbeing.  It has a direct impact on the nervous system and is extremely beneficial for people who suffer with the symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, sleep issues and chronic pain.  I can integrate simple breathwork practices into counselling sessions or I could provide a whole session or series of sessions focussing solely on breathwork.  Please enquire if this is something that interests you.

​​

Choosing a counsellor can be a daunting task as I found out when I was looking for the right person myself.  It is important to find someone that you feel comfortable with, as together you will create a relationship built on trust and connection.  If I sound like I could be a good fit for you, then please get in touch today.
