I am a fully qualified, experienced, humanistic counsellor and have been working with clients since 2011. I am registered and accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follow their Ethical Framework.
I am passionate about the potential counselling has to enable changes for us all, and my years of experience have only grown this passion further, as I see people gain so much from the process of counselling, time and time again.
I have experience working in private practice, in an agency setting, in a hospice and in GP practices. Along with my Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Counselling, I have completed a Certificate in Counselling Supervision course, a Couples Counselling Certificate course and many continuing professional development workshops. I work with individuals (adults and young people) and couples, face to face, online or via telephone sessions.
I have a special interest in working with anxiety, since this common difficulty can have an enormous impact on people’s lives, and the right counselling support can completely transform this issue.
I also love working with issues around self-esteem, sexuality, bereavement and working with people who identify as neurodivergent. These are all areas that I feel a particular affinity for and gain a great deal of fulfilment from working with.
I aim to be authentic with my clients, I am on the same journey myself after all, and still have much to learn. I am not there as the expert, teaching my clients how they should do life, but as a catalyst and support as they explore this for themselves.
It is a privilege to work in a role that involves others placing so much trust in me, and being willing to share their most vulnerable fears and concerns with me and it is a great joy to witness the healing and growth that develops as a result of this.
