About me
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
Are you having trouble with making decisions, feeling anxious, had a bereavement, struggling with work / life / relationship stresses or feeling overwhlemed? If so, counselling can help you to process and deal with your emotions, in turn help you to find the answers, coping strategies and support that you are looking for.
You are never too young or old for therapy. I support people of all ages from six to eighty-six or older, with an array of issues.
Counselling may seem scary, but it does not have to be. No problem is too big or too small. If it matters to you, it matters to me and together we can work through your issues. You are not alone. I will be lead by you in whatever you want to discuss or explore. We will work at your pace.
Let me introduce myself. I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor / Psychotherapist. I qualified in Humanistic Person Centred Counselling in 2005. I spent the first seven years working voluntarily for Victim Support, supporting people who were victims of serious crime including rape, domestic abuse or bereaved through murder / manslaughter.
In 2012 I took a leap of faith and set up my own Private Practice, Serenity Counselling. I had not been in Private Practice long before I was contacted by a Child Mental Health charity asking me to help deliver counselling in various schools over East Staffordshire which is what I did for six years. Around the same time I was also approached by an IAPT (Improved Access to Psychological Therapies) Service, and started working for them counselling patients referred by their GPs. I did this for 8 years.
I now focus totally on my private practice clients, counselling people who contact me directly or who are referred through EAP (Employment Assisted Programmes) providers or their insurance company.
Feel free to contact me for an informal chat or look at my website for more information about me and my practice. I aim to respond to enquiries within 24 hours.
**Please note that I am unable to provide emergency or crisis support. If you are in Crisis, please contact your GP or go to your local A&E.**
