About me and my therapy practice
Thank you for viewing my profile. Choosing the right counsellor is an important decision, but it can also feel daunting. Here is a little about me to help you decide whether I’m the right fit for you.
I am a qualified counsellor and a Registered Member M±«ÓãÊÓÆµ(Accredited) with the ±«ÓãÊÓÆµ I first qualified in Person-Centred Counselling in 2006 and later trained as an Integrative Counsellor in 2020.
I have experience working with:
• Young people of college age and above
• Individuals struggling with addiction
• People experiencing a range of mental health difficulties
• Neurodivergent individuals
• Those exploring their gender identity and transition
I volunteered for many years with a charity supporting transgender individuals, their families, and close friends. I also work for a supported employment service that helps people with various barriers to find and retain meaningful employment.
In counselling, my aim is to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings freely. I will be alongside you as you work through experiences from your past, present, and future. My approach is primarily person-centred, following your lead on what you wish to explore, while drawing on techniques from my integrative training to support you in ways that suit your needs.
If you would like to find out more, please feel free to get in touch.
