I have experience in supporting clients through their most difficult chapters of life, through life transitions whether these were expected changes or shocking events. Some of the issues I work with in counselling are Childhood trauma, self-harm, depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties, personal confidence and self-esteem, living with dementia or other life-changing health diagnosis (and supporting carers), Abuse, emotional eating, self-defeating behaviours, negative thought patterns, self-sabotaging behaviour, parenting, anger management, emotional dysfunction and Burnout. I work with clients who are un-diagnosed or diagnosed with ADHD and ASD and please note that I work with the client rather than the diagnosis.

I am trained as an integrative counsellor so I naturally work as a Humanistic counsellor and use Psychodynamic, Existential, Gestalt, CBT, DBT, Person centered Experiential (PCE), Brief Solution Focused Therapy (BSFT) and Somatic interventions. I work in a trauma informed way so will always offer mindfulness and regulatory exercises to hold you in a safe, calm space.

Your progress is dependent on our working relationship which is top priority. I encourage your involvement with identifying goals, blockages and challenges you may face. I am also a qualified Hypnotherapist; which, for some clients can provide a valuable extension to my tool kit.

Confidence

The importance of choosing a Counsellor who is registered in the UK –

‘Counsellors and psychotherapists are one of the largest healthcare professions not regulated by law. The title of ‘counsellor’ is not protected so anyone can set up a practice and call themselves Counsellor or Psychotherapist.‘

Being on a professional and transparent register ‘provides an extra level of reassurance for your clients. It shows them that you’ve met demanding standards in education, training, competence, and professional conduct.‘
