About me and my therapy practice
Hi and welcome to my profile, I am an understanding Person Centred Counsellor working with a wide range of clients from all ethnicity, religions, sexuality, and cultural background. Life can be challenging at times, as I know from personal experience and that's why I want to help.
Are you feeling stressed, anxious, feeling down or stuck in life? I am experienced in helping people with anxiety, depression, bereavement, loss or understanding past experiences that are affecting you. Very often, I have experienced, as an individual starts to talk openly about their thoughts and feelings, they come to an awareness that a lot of issues stem back to their childhood.
Practice description
My approach aims to support you in feeling able to process difficult emotions, at your chosen pace, exploring what you feel you need and supporting you to feel confident in understanding yourself.
Counselling is not about giving advice; it is about allowing you to discuss your issues, in a safe and friendly space enabling you to find new ways to help yourself, or make changes to your life if you choose to.I believe the answers lie within you and I'm here to help you look deeper into what's troubling you and help you navigate your way through it. I am compassionate in my work and can offer you a warming environment to offload in.
I am passionate about what I do and believe everyone has the right to access support. I understand that reaching out for therapy can be a scary process and takes a lot of courage but please don't hesitate to contact me either by email, phone or text.
I also work with counselling students who are looking to complete personal therapy as part of their course requirements, at a reduced rate.
My first session
In our first session together I will go through the counselling contract together. This is an agreement outlining how we will work together.
I ask clients to complete a short series of questions (multiple choice) at the beginning of each session which provides insight into how you have been feeling recently.
