About me
Hello I'm an experienced, accredited relational therapist. I work integratively, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to suit your unique needs. In addition, I am a trauma informed practitioner with additional training in this area.
I am committed in offering you a warm, safe, confidential and supportive space to help you in your journey towards healing and growth. I understand the importance of feeling that you fit with your counsellor and my aim is to make you feel safe and comfortable in the therapeutic relationship whilst I support you on your counselling journey.
About me and my therapy practice
I am a professionally qualified and experienced integrative psychotherapist. This means that I draw on different therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs and goals.
I am a warm and empathic person. You are your own expert. I will listen to you, ask questions and tune into how your experiences have impacted you. You are unique so your counselling will be tailored to your own individual needs. In your counselling, it may be helpful to explore your previous experiences and relationships in order to understand the impact of these on you in the present. We could work together to identify and understand any restrictive patterns of behaviour which can lead to positive change, freedom and empowerment. We will work at your pace to equip you with tools for you to feel stronger, to lead a more fulfilled life and to cope with future challenges that may arise.
I studied at the University of Leeds and have extensive experience of working in private practice. I was previously employed as the Counselling Service Manager in a counselling charity.
I am an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work in accordance with BACP's Ethical Framework. I am committed to my professional development and engage in regular training and CPD.
Where I work
I can offer face to face sessions in the centre of Harrogate.
I can also offer video sessions via Microsoft Teams, or telephone sessions.
Each therapy session will last 50 minutes. I offer both short term therapy for focused goals, and longer term therapy for deeper exploration.
