I am a BACP Registered Member, offering one to one talking therapy and online counselling. At the very core of my counselling practice is my belief that we all deserve to be who we are, without judgement. Together, we can work to find ways of enabling you to move forward in your life, with greater knowledge of yourself and tools to help you manage difficult feelings.
Through the experience of counselling I can help you to feel different, develop strategies and resilience and to regain sight of ‘light at the end of the tunnel’.
The type of counselling I offer is Humanistic Integrative, which is focused on putting the client at the centre of the process, and CBT, which has proved to be highly effective in the treatment of depression, anxiety, stress, panic attacks, agoraphobia, OCD and Multicultural awareness.
In the counselling setting, the counsellor recognizes that the client is different from the counsellor and treats the client without forcing the client to be like him or her.
The process of therapy and counselling not only provides a safe space to talk about personal difficulties but it also is a place to learn new coping strategies that have been shown to be successful in bringing about life changes.
