Hello & Welcome
Whatever you bring to counselling, I offer a kind, safe and welcoming space for you to explore your concerns at your own pace
Your counselling journey will be a unique reflection of you and your needs
You may already know what brings you to counselling or you may discover this on your journey
You may find counselling beneficial:
- to experience your feelings and
be fully heard
- to consider your behaviour patterns,
coping skills and resilience
- to safely explore memories
or previous experiences
- to evaluate your relationships
and interactions with others
I specialise in supporting women and girls and all that brings in terms of the unique challenges we encounter throughout our life journeys
Increasingly, our lifestyles demand we put more energy in to meeting the often, unrealistic, standards we impose on ourselves, our relationships and our careers, to be 'perfect'
This can leave little time for self care and reflection and can leave us feeling anxious, disconnected and isolated
Do you feel ready:
- to re evaluate what is helpful to you
and what to let go of
- to gain a clearer understanding of
who you are and what you want
- to identify and action change in your
life
- to be the most authentic version of
yourself
I am trained in humanistic and integrative counselling, which means my approach is drawn from a range of theories, which can be tailored to your individual needs
I am also a qualified nurse and continue to work some part time hours, providing acute mental health support in an occupational setting
I am registered with the BACP membership body (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy)
I hold professional insurance and ICO membership (Information Commisioners Office)
I can provide a safe counselling space to allow you to be fully heard and empower you to re connect with who you are and what you want
Counselling lends itself to both short and longer term work
Short term work - may help you to identify current challenges and action changes
Longer term work - can be useful to gain a better understanding of established behaviour patterns or how your childhood, relationships or past development continues to impact you
Are you exhausted trying to keep up with Social Media?
Have you lost sight of your relationship goals?
Maybe you are a new Mum, wondering why other parents make it look so easy?
Perhaps you feel lost in a Carer's role? Busy bringing up children or supporting elderly parents?
Or has Menopause caused you to re evaluate the next step of your journey?
What can counselling help with?
The following describes some of the areas in which I have supported clients with but it is not exhaustive. In general, I will work with whatever each person brings. If at any time, I consider you would benefit from a more specific counselling approach for which I do not have adequate training I will always be transparent in advising you of this.
