Are you anxious, stressed, depressed?
Are you feeling unfulfilled and stuck, and finding it hard to move forward in your life? Sometimes we all need a safe and confidential space to talk in finding a way through.
I bring many years Counselling/Psychotherapy experience and a thoroughly up-to-date approach in helping people deal with a wide variety of emotional difficulties.
About me and my practice
I am an Integrative trained BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) Accredited and Registered Counsellor / Psychotherapist and Supervisor with over 20 years experience in supporting clients from diverse backgrounds, providing short and long term therapy on a very wide range of issues.
I work relationally, with warmth and compassion and I utilise a range of approaches in helping people because I know that people are unique, and there is rarely a one size fits all solution. At the same time, Counselling can sometimes offer concrete and specific ways to approach problems such as low self-esteem, worry, anxiety and depression. I may therefore at times offer suggestions and information, and in this Im informed by an up-to-date understanding of how certain problems occur and perpetuate.
Experience
With over 20 Years' experience I have worked in private practice for over a decade. previously as therapist within the addictions field, and for over ten years within a University counselling service as Counsellor and Mental Health Advisor.
