How are you?

You may be feeling sad, angry, frustrated, misunderstood, or just lost, and you want to get back to feeling like 'you' again. Or maybe even discovering who 'you' really are, for the first time. You may have a particular issue to explore, or you might not be able to pinpoint exactly what's worrying you. Either way, talking about it is a great way to begin to understand whats going on for you.

About me and my practice

As a qualified and experienced integrative counsellor, I draw on theories from person centred, CBT and psychodynamic modalities. Each client is a unique individual and I adapt how I work accordingly, tailoring my approach to one that best suits the client.

We can discuss what brought you to counselling and explore your fears and worries to help you gain a better understanding of yourself and what you would like to change or accept.

You may:

- Have a specific problem that you would like to explore or gain clarity on
- Feel fed up of over thinking and want to break free of the negative cycle
- Be struggling to cope with stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression or low mood
- Have problems within relationships or with communication
- Want to work through the loss of a loved one
- Have issues from the past that you would like to address in a safe space
- Just wish life didn't feel so overwhelming & difficult

Whatever it is that you are hoping to get help with, the first step is making the decision to seek help. I offer a free initial telephone call, this will usually last around 10-15 minutes. We can discuss your concerns and what you would like to get out of counselling. I will explain how I work and we can see if we are a good fit for each other. There is no obligation to take things any further after this initial call. But, if you decide that you would like to go ahead we can look at suitable days/times.

I know it can be scary to take the first step, but Im really down to earth and easy to talk to! This is a time to focus solely on you, a safe and confidential space to explore your feelings without judgement and without fear of upsetting anyone or worrying how others might react.

Experience

I have experience of working with clients who present with many different issues including difficult relationships, abuse, anxiety, stress, Autism, ADHD, family dynamics, depression, chronic illness, FND, neurodiversity, self esteem, trauma, sexuality, self hard, suicide ideation.

In my personal life I support my adult autistic daughter, and understand the specific mental health challenges that autistic girls face. Late diagnosis, masking, school attendance, anxiety and friendship difficulties can affect the whole family. My daughter also has Tourette Syndrome and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), so I have a lot of first hand experience when it comes to parenting a child with these conditions.
