About me

Hello,

Down-to-earth, approachable and non-judgemental, I will aim to develop a safe and supportive relationship with you where you feel able to talk about any difficulties you are experiencing and to be yourself.

I use an integrative counselling approach which has a basis in humanistic/person centred practice. This is informed by other theories and approaches such as attachment and family systems theory. I take a compassionate view of the struggles and difficulties that we can all face in life.

I am qualified to work with adults, children and young people and have worked with clients from aged 6 to 80. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues including (but not limited to) family and parent/child relationships, parenting (from newborn onwards), bereavement and loss, neglect and/or abuse in childhood, addiction and its effects on family members, creative blocks, living with uncertainty and life-threatening illness.

I enjoy taking a creative approach to therapy, when appropriate. Creative approaches can really help when it is hard to find the words that fit with what you are experiencing.

Bereavement, grief and loss; attachment issues; neglect and abuse in childhood; living uncertainty; living with life-limiting or life-threatening illness; stress; anxiety; low mood; family and relationship dynamics; parenting; working creatively;
