Qualified Integrative Counsellor (BACP reg. member)

Why Counselling?

You are unique. As an integrative counsellor I use a broad person centred approach and combine some CBT, relational, and psychodynamic knowledge with a view to helping you get unstuck and move forward in your goals.

Improving mental, emotional and relational health means coming to understand where you are right now and positively affect your future for the better.

The counselling relationship is unlike speaking with a friend or family member. It offers objectivity and expertise and can be a very worthwhile investment in your freedom, growth or just feeling normal again.

Experience has shown me

Support That Makes a Difference

You are more capable than you currently feel

Self awareness can be powerful

Practising new skills in a safe environment can improve real world living

Client feedback

We are very thankful for the time you spent with us and you really understood what we were going through (2019)

I am now more able to look at stressful situations from a distance which helps me with overcoming negative feelings during these moments and solving the problems with less effort (2019)

At first I was sceptical but it was amazing how much better I felt (2018)

I have never felt so listened to , it really helped me make sense of what has been very upsetting. I have learnt so much and I will be able to use this throughout my life and feel this is a turning point to a new and happier me (2017)

I will never forget the kindness and compassion you showed as you were with me in the darkest times (2017)

In counselling, I realised it wasn't my fault (2016)

Experience

Time and space to assess your life and make changes

Offering a confidential and supportive environment I draw on a variety of current theoretical approaches to human mental and emotional health.

Sometimes positive human connection, where your growth is the focus, enables you to learn or relearn life skills, useful for all aspects of your life.

anxiety, recovery from divorce, relationship problems, family issues, baby loss and infertility, depression, grief and bereavement, domestic violence, abuse, trauma, redundancy, rape, work stress, life changes, illness, emotional issues, low confidence/self esteem/loss of meaning, faith issues, self harm, low mood.
