Counsellor & Psychotherapist, MNCPS Acc.
Starting counselling can feel daunting, but it's a courageous step toward healing and self-discovery. I'm a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, and I also have over 20 years' experience as a Social Worker, working with trauma, abuse, domestic violence, anxiety, low mood and depression.
I offer person-centred, trauma-informed therapy in a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. I have a particular interest in working with childhood trauma, survivors of abuse, and relationship challenges. Whatever you're facing, you don't have to do it alone.
I offer person-centred counselling and psychotherapy. With my knowledge of trauma, I can support you to explore your past and work through difficult experiences. I can also help you work through anxiety and find ways to manage low mood.
Coming to counselling can feel difficult and overwhelming. Thinking about sharing your deepest thoughts and challenges brings vulnerability. Trusting a stranger with such personal and delicate information can be challenging. I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where it is okay to be vulnerable and explore difficult feelings.
Person-centred counselling prioritises your needs and goals. In sessions I provide a supportive environment to explore your thoughts and feelings. This approach is also used with trauma, allowing you to work through emotions in a non-judgemental way and develop coping mechanisms for difficult situations.
I help clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, neurodivergence (including processing of late diagnosis), grief, parenting stress and much more. Together we explore issues that may be hindering or distressing you. Clients often experience gradual progress in therapy, working at their own pace. I also provide therapy to a charity for domestic abuse survivors, and offer discounts for domestic abuse survivors.
