I’ve been offering counselling for two years and my work is Person Centred. That means that your therapy is about you and your journey. It’s about you being offered a safe and confidential space to work on understanding yourself better.

In working with me, I aim to show you - empathy, acceptance and unconditional positive regard as you explore and deepen the relationship that you have with yourself and with others.

The sessions are led by you and you get to decide how best to use that time to benefit yourself.

In offering you the right kind of professional and personal support, I aim to facilitate an environment where you can develop a better connection with yourself, by understanding how your past affects your present and how to develop the tools necessary to build a future that aligns more with the real you.

A little bit about me. I have two years experience in a counselling setting and I primarily use integrated person centredness in client sessions.

I have specialised training in how to work with people who have experienced Sexual Abuse and Domestic Violence.

I also use interventions from -

IEMT

Creative therapies

Gestalt

Conflict resolution

Mindfulness and guided meditatios

Inner child work

Starting as a new counsellor, my initial sessions are focused on building trust and establishing a foundation of understanding with you. Before we dive into the full counselling process, I offer a 20-minute consultation to help us get acquainted and give you the opportunity to ask questions.

This consultation is an essential step where we ensure that we’re a good fit for each other, allowing me to explain how I work and helping you feel comfortable with the idea of therapy.

If you choose to move forward, the first full session becomes an important time for both of us. A key part of starting the process is discussing confidentiality and the boundaries around our sessions. Ensuring that you feel safe, respected, and supported is my top priority.

I take a holistic view, so the first session might include looking at various aspects of your life, such as relationships, work, mental health, or personal goals. This helps us build a clearer picture together, allowing us to set meaningful and achievable counselling aims.
