My Counselling Practice

Are you experiencing anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, struggling with a loss or just can't make sense of your life at the moment? I aim to help explore, understand and gain clarity around these difficult feelings.

Mental Health encompasses our emotional, psychological and social well-being. It has a huge impact on how we act, feel and react, as well as impacting the life choices we make.

Working together we will talk openly and honestly around your feelings and thoughts, looking at your relationships with yourself and others and consider how past experiences and current behaviours are potentially connected.

I aim to help you develop greater self-awareness , increased self confidence and improved communication. Personal growth can help your understanding of yourself, exploring patterns of behaviour that no longer work or cause anxiety can help you gain insight into what you feel and why.

Seeking help and support to overcome feelings and emotions is a big step and it can be helpful to have someone beside you on your journey. My goal as a Counsellor is to provide an open, compassionate environment, a safe place to talk.

Working Together

Your counselling sessions provide space for you to talk, without fear of judgement. Weekly sessions last 50 minutes.

By developing a trusting relationship it enables you to explore your curiosity around your life and behaviour in order to develop greater understanding and self knowledge. During sessions we will explore the issues you are experiencing, exploring it within the context of your current life, previous patterns and also the life stories you tell yourself and others.

Working Ethically

I abide by the BACP ethical framework demonstrating, trustworthiness, respect and honesty. Ethical considerations underpin the work I do, maintaining confidentiality and good practice.
