about me
I am a qualified accredited counsellor with over 10 years of counselling experience and offer therapy online. I am trained in the person-centred model of counselling in which the client leads the direction of therapy and is valued as a unique individual. Working in this way I offer a safe space where together we can try to explore and understand difficult issues. I believe the therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client is key to successful change. I offer a warm and compassionate presence creating a space to explore and listen.I have experience working with adults with a wide range of issues including addiction, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, historical childhood issues. Talking can sometimes be very painful and daunting. Together we can explore your difficulties and talk, allowing you to express your feelings without fear of judgement and the space to process them safely. We can try to make sense of them and gradually find a way to move forward with compassion and my professional support.
Professional experience
•I have been working as a person-centered counsellor for over 10 years and have the experience of working with clients from a wide range of backgrounds struggling with depression, anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, anger issues, addiction, feeling lost, or coping with family issues, separation and divorce, among many other problems. These can be extremely painful, frightening and debilitating. Just as we’ve been formed by our experiences in relationships and the ideas about ourselves that we take from them, therapy is another relationship that offers something formative – this time, the chance to let go of limiting and problematic ideas, and to become stronger, more confident, and less anxious or distressed. Together we can make sense of them and explore possible coping strategies for you to live a healthier life.
