About me and my therapy practice
Sunflower Talking Therapy
"Even in the midst of darkness, sunflowers find the light"
As a dedicated and compassionate counsellor, my aim is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. I have 20 years experiences of working with children and young people. I also have a wealth of experience working within domestic abuse organisations and the impact this can have on adults and children, regardless of age, gender, or class.
I combine professional expertise with the wisdom form experiencing many challenging life events. I believe those experiences allow me to bring genuine empathy, understanding and relatability to our work together.
I am an integrative counsellor, with a focus on Person Centred approach. This means I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to provide clients with a personalised and holistic experience. I believe that no single method fits everyone, so I integrate techniques from Person centred therapy, cognitive Behavioural therapy and transactional analysis to address the unique emotional, mental and relational needs of those I work with. My aim is to provide a warm, supportive and collaborative environment where clients can explore their challenges, discover their strengths and achieve meaningful growth. Together, we’ll work towards greater self-awareness, resilience and a sense of balance.
I love to work creatively and find this is an empowering way to help individuals of all ages to express emotions when words can be difficult to find.
Practice description
My values include empathy, respect and compassion, as well as the belief that you should never underestimate the power of listening.
I approach each client according to their needs in order to help them get past their challenges, understand more about who they are, what has led them to this point in their lives, and how they might create a more satisfying and fulfilling life in the future.
The client always has autonomy. My aim is to facilitate clients to become be truly themselves. combining multiple "lenses" to provide insight into behaviour, perception, ideas, and relationships in order to assist clients in reaching their therapeutic goals.
My approach to work is Person-centred, which simply means that you, as my client, are at the centre of all we do. Understanding your life as it is and working together to find a path that work for you to make positive changes.
I work from a peaceful, calm and tranquil garden office which provides a confidential, safe space to facilitate your journey.
My first session
Before our first session a brief phone call will often take place, this is to explore what and how I can support you. This may help you to decide if I am the right counsellor for you.
In the first session we would complete an initial assessment, this includes your presenting issues, medical history and any struggles and/or concerns you may have. From this an individual therapeutic path can be explored, all of which are developed by your needs and goals.
The client/counsellor contract is agreed in this session.
