Presenting Issues
I am truly passionate about supporting clients through the most challenging chapters of their lives, supporting to navigate life transitions that can come unexpectedly or have been building up for years. In my counselling practice, I have experience working with clients who are struggling with one or some of the below.
| Anxiety | Stress |
| Depression | Bereavement/Ambiguous loss |
| Relationships (individual) | Self-defeating behaviours & Self-harm |
| PTSD/CPTSD | Terminal Diagnosis/Cancer survivors |
| Living with Auto-immune conditions such as Diabetes, FND, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia | Professional stress caused by challenging colleague relations or unsupportive employers. |
| Family problems/dynamics | Personal identity, self-esteem and confidence |
| Loved ones/carers for those living with Dementia and Alzheimer’s | Emotional and physical burnout. |
| Redundancy, financial pressure | Negative coping strategies/thought patterns such as OCD and rumination. |
| Challenges that Neurodiversity can bring. | Female health issues such as PMDD, Endometriosis, Perimenopause/Menopause |
| Military Clients (serving and veterans). | Professional burnout for clients in the educational, medical and social sectors. |
| Parenting | Historical and Present Abuse |
Counselling Modalities
I am trained as an integrative counsellor, which enables me to function effectively as a Humanistic counsellor while employing various therapeutic modalities, including Psychodynamic, Existential, Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Experiential (PCE), Brief Solution-Focused Therapy (BSFT), and Somatic interventions. I adopt a trauma-informed approach and consistently provide mindfulness and regulatory exercises to create and maintain a safe, calm environment for my clients.
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.
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.‘
