I can support my clients through a wide range of challenges, including low self-esteem, bereavement, phobias, depression, anger management, anxiety, work related stress, trauma experiences, addiction, obsessive compulsive disposition, and relationship issues.
I have found that when entering counselling, clients often have a sense something is not quite right, but are struggling to identify what it is. In supporting my clients to work through these challenges, I provide a safe and non-judgemental space to unload and reflect on the challenges life throws at us.
I strive to provide a therapeutic space that allows my clients to feel heard with empathy, openness and honesty at the core of this experience. I am committed to helping my clients face the challenges of life and to reflect on and embrace the freedom of choice humankind has. I am mindful of understanding a client's position in the world and their unique identity in relating to themselves and to others. I believe in working with you to reflect on your current ways of being, enabling you to identify and develop further on your internal resources
I am trained in a number of different counselling styles, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychoanalytic, Existential Phenomenological, and Mindfulness. As part of my practise, I strive to adapt these approaches to my clients’ individual needs. I have experience in working with adults in a number of different settings, ranging from NHS Talking Therapy, addiction centres, and counselling charities.
I am also an adoption informed counsellor, holding a certificate in Adoption Support Counselling, allowing me to work with adults whose lives have been touched by adoption. I have a keen interest in understanding the lived experience of each person within the adoption triad, with a specific focus on the lived experience of adoptees that are thinking about starting their reunion journey or have been through an adoption reunion.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
