Individual counselling

I am a member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). This is a professional association and registered charity that sets standards for the counselling and psychotherapy professions in the UK: MBACP 00993028/register no:410295

In our sessions, I work by listening to you, hearing what you need to say. Together, we grow a trusting unit where you and what you require from counselling are at the centre of our work. We will co-create a therapeutic space where you can process life events and explore your options. Do get in touch.

I have three years experience as a listener for Samaritans, where I have developed essential listening and communication skills. I am trained and work as an integrative counsellor which means that together we can draw from various evidenced based theories and methodologies to tailor your counselling uniquely to you. As well as my private practice, I work at a nearby GP practice, where I support individuals in their emotional and mental well-being.

Areas that I have experience of include bereavement, health anxiety, social anxiety, general anxiety, effective strategies for managing anxious thoughts, study and work related stress, low mood, parental narcissistic abuse, estrangement, understanding and processing the impact of life events, exploring how to draw on strengths and resilience, exploring how to say no (and yes), exploring the importance of self care and ways to do this, coping with living with pain or illness, accepting the ‘now’ or ‘new normal’ and looking to a future: relearning how to trigger the ability to cope, relax and have fun.

I am also trained in online and telephone counselling and I am very comfortable offering counselling this way. Up to date research informs us that in many situations online and telephone counselling is as effective as face to face and in some circumstances it can be better.
