How I work

 

I offer short and long term counselling to adults in person and online - providing a non-judgemental and empathetic space for you to be truly heard. 

 

I trained integratively which means that I draw on different skills and approaches to suit your individual needs. Primarily though, I work from a person-centred space. This means that I believe you are the expert in knowing what you need.

 

However, I understand from personal experience that this internal voice can sometimes feel lost or silenced and having another person there to validate, listen and support your process can make a real difference. 

I work relationally and aim to create a space where you feel safe and heard, meeting you as a fellow human above all else. Ultimately, I will follow your process - adapting my style of therapy to suit you. Where it feels appropriate for you, I'm interested in working with 'parts' and somatically - connecting to your body as well as your thoughts and emotions.

 

Experience

 

I am experienced working with various issues you might be facing including low mood, worry, and relationship difficulties. I work in a non-pathologising way, which means I won't diagnose you or seek to 'fix you'. I am particularly interested in working with you during those times of life transitions, which though 'normal' can prove really challenging. 

I have extensive experience working in the voluntary sector with people who are pregnant or have become a parent and are finding things tough. Outside Private Practice my counselling work has largely been in a cancer support and hospice setting, with grief and bereavement being common themes. 

 

I have found that beginning and end of life transitions often have much in common and it's an honour to support you through these times.
