About me and my therapy practice
Its a bit overwhelming isn't it, searching for the right counsellor. I know ive been where you are, wandering how i choose. I believe every person deserves to be listened to with empathy and respect and i aim to provide a safe space for you where we can build a relationship by providing you with, unconditional understanding, and acceptance and a space to tell your story and be heard. My role is to walk alongside you in your journey to better understand yourself and provide you with new tools to effectively move through your difficulties, no matter how daunting.
I approach my work in a way that is tailored to you, as I draw on a number of theoretical approaches such as CBT, Person centred and psychodynamic therapies, in a pluralistic approach to address your specific needs.
Having undertaken training in a domestic abuse counselling service, I can offer clients specialist experience and knowledge in trauma, grief, loss, domestic abuse, anxiety, depression, divorce issues, coercive control, C-PTD, ADHD, eating disorders, childhood trauma and parenting. I have 10 years experience in adoption and fostering and have gained experienceof the court system around and divorce.
