My Story
A little about me and what my service is about:
I am passionate about working with adults (18yrs +) and young people (14 - 18yrs) to help them understand, manage and work through challenges in their lives.
Young people
I am a professional (Accredited, supervised and insured)l with a broad experience of working with young people and my goal is to enable them to develop and achieve their own strengths so that they are supported in reaching their potential. I have a proven record of demonstrating an understanding of the needs of young people and an ability to raise their aspirations. A core feature of my service entails engaging hard to reach young people and, over time, understanding their story and helping to motivate and empower them to be active participants in their own lives and issues that are affecting them.
I emphasize the importance of a respectful and creative CBT approach in order to maximize the impact of my work. Your son/ daughter will not be seen as a number, but as a fully functioning person in their own right. I believe that counselling should ultimately be an enriching and nourishing experience for a young person, where they can feel valued. I also strongly believe that a mindful practice has a tremendous impact on what can be achieved in partnership with young people and their families.
Adults
I am an experienced accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I am a very warm, understanding and approachable person and I draw on my experience, knowledge and wisdom in working with my clients. I am passionate about my work and I believe Counselling can make a significant improvement to people’s lives when they are experiencing difficulties.

Depression
Work Stress
Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Self Harm and suicidal thoughts
Bereavement and loss
Relationship difficulties
Low Self Confidence
Abuse
My Approach
My style of Counselling is based on the Humanistic approach. This approach draws from a number of rich theoretical frameworks such as Person Centred, Transactional Analysis, Attachment, Complex Trauma, Personality Function and Dysfunction, Gestalt and Object Relations. I use body orientated approaches such as EMDR and Somatic experiencig as a means to support you to regain control and leadership over your life. Whatever the approach that is best for you, I will ensure you are comfortable and work at a pace that meets you where you are at and gives you a sense of empowerment in reclaiming your life fully again.
If you are looking for a personal service that genuinely meets you where you are at, then look no further. Bookings can be made through 0871359198 (Anytime).
