I am a highly qualified counsellor, psychotherapist, supervisor and Reiki Therapist, who can offer you a warm, safe place for you to explore your issues or concerns. I am able to work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse. I Work in a person-centred way, which basically means I will provide you with a confidential safe place to explore
your issues or worries in a warm, genuine and non-judgemental way, no matter how big or small they may seem. I will listen to you empathically and will be interactive in our work together. However, I will not give you advice or tell you what to do, as I believe that you are the expert on your own life or situation and you have the ability and resources within yourself to make your own decisions, or to come to your own solutions. Through exploration together, it will help you to understand your thoughts, feelings and emotions, helping you to come to a deeper understanding of yourself and your issues. This will enable you to build self-esteem, self confidence and empower you to be able to make informed choices and decisions that are right for you as an individual and enable potential change in your life. I understand that to make that first call for counselling can be extremely difficult, but I am sure that if you make that call It could potentially be the first step towards making positive changes in your life. Our initial meet will be for you to decide if you feel comfortable working with me and for you to discuss your issues and what you would like to gain from counselling. I am happy to have an informal chat over the phone with you if you're feeling unsure. I work from from my home office, which is confidential and comfortable, in a relaxed setting.
