About me

I am an experienced and accredited Integrative Counselling Psychotherapist. I have a first-class Degree in Rehabilitation Studies and a Post Graduate Diploma with merit in Integrative Psychotherapy completed in 2013.I also hold an Online Therapy Specialist qualification incorporating both online and telephone counselling completed in 2017.

My background prior to training as a Counselling Psychotherapist was as a Senior Ward sister in the NHS and teaching roles within Secondary and further Education.

As an Integrative Counselling Psychotherapist I combine different approaches to support my clients moving forward in their lives in a more comfortable way.Some of the therapeutic approaches I incorporate include Solution Focused Therapy,Psychodynamic Therapy to explore how past experiences may have impacted on present difficulties,Cognitive re-framing of unhelpful though patterns, Psychoeducation related for example to anxiety and grounding mindful strategies which may be helpful to interrupt anxiety or the worry cycle
I feel I have a good understanding of stressors both personal and professional which may affect a person's emotional wellbeing.

As a Counsellor,I work to offer my clients a safe non-judgemental space where they can explore difficulties they are experiencing.I find my work as a counsellor extremely rewarding. It is important to me that I deliver to the highest standard for my clients through offering them a confidential and supportive therapeutic space where they can be heard. I bring myself to sessions and I would describe myself as genuine, warm, non-judgemental and easy to talk to. I have a good knowledge base which I continue to strengthen through Professional development.

Considering counselling may bring up some discomfort or anxiety which is perfectly normal. I offer a free 20 minute no obligation telephone call where you can ask any questions or clarify any issues you are unclear about so do feel free to contact me and we can have a chat.
