About me and my practice
I am glad you are taking this opportunity to learn more about me and how I practice; if you do have any questions please do reach out.
I am a qualified integrative psychotherapeutic Counsellor, who is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
My personal journey supporting individuals started twenty four years ago within the care industry, working with many individuals that have been impacted by physical change, mental health illness and end of life. As a care assistant and support worker I gained vast amounts of knowledge surrounding, disabilities, health, mental health and the impact it can have on family and how traumatic it can be accepting an individual's diagnosis. Which I know all to well being a mum to children who have complex needs.
As an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor I have an avid interest in trauma and how it effects us individually. Being a human being I have had vast personal circumstances that has lead me to wanting to support women, men and teenagers who have experienced traumatic events.
Within private practice, my main focus is for all clients to feel comfortable and confident within the therapeutic relationship with me, giving you (the client) the autonomy and space to advocate what you would like to gain from the therapy sessions. Nevertheless, I understand that if this is your first time seeking therapy you may not know what to expect or how therapy works, which I struggled with my first time too, many years ago; however we can work through this together.
Within the therapeutic relationship I offer an authentic, empathic, compassionate and non-judgmental space for all clients to talk, feel safe and be heard. I personally feel this helps the connection between you and I, giving you the best out come possible.
Experience
I have experience of working with mental health, addiction, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, panic attacks, depression, autism and much more.

I offer a fifteen minute telephone consultation.
This time would be used to talk about what has brought you to therapy and whether you have a goal in mind, however please do not panic as most people do not know until they start therapy.
