I am a qualified counsellor/Psychotherapist Registered and Accredited by the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy.

As well as Private Practice, I have extensive experience of counselling within the NHS both in short-term counselling as well as for the IAPT service offering CBT (Cognitive Behavioural therapy).

Specialities:
Person-Centred Therapy: Belief that every individual has the potential for growth when given the right environment.

CBT: Looking at negative thinking and gaining perspective, which lessens and controls unwanted and unhelpful negative emotions.

Psychodynamic Counselling: Looking at possible unresolved past material that’s causing issues in the present. Exploring this can help gain self-awareness and a clearer perspective on the present and the future.

My Aims:

I tailor to clients needs, as clients are unique and therefore not one approach suits all.

I work on a short term or long term basis depending on individual needs.

I help clients to pin point what’s brought them to counselling and what steps can be taken towards change. I give my insight, feedback, understanding and guidance. Then clients can build self awareness, self esteem, gain clarity and understanding, and ultimately lead a more fulfilled life.

Feedback:

‘Counselling has been a journey of discovery’

‘I have left counselling feeling like a new person’

‘Counselling helped me to take steps I never thought were possible’
