About me

​

As a mature student I retrained as an Integrative Counsellor in 2018, I hold a 1st Class Bachelor of Science Degree in Counselling and Therapeutic Communications and a registered membership of The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). 

I have been practising post qualification working with children and young people in the schools, charitable organisations and online, as well as working with adults face to face, telephone and online.

​

Specialist interest

​

Working from a trauma-informed perspective, I have a deep understanding of attachment  and the effects that an individual’s experiences have psychologically and physically.  With wisdom, intuition, and genuine empathy I work passionately and creatively, including psychoeducation to equip my clients with the resources they need to understand themselves and find solutions.

​

Clinical experience

​

I began my counselling journey in Secondary Schools working one to one with young people.  As an integrative counsellor I work from a person-centred approach with the adaptability to use other therapeutic approaches, such as Creative Therapy, Sand Tray, Music, Role Play, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt and CBT.

​

I am experienced in working therapeutically both short-term and long-term with issues:  anxiety & depression, bereavement, suicidal ideation, trauma, self-harm, divorce, domestic abuse, sexual assault, child sexual abuse, coercion, sexuality, gender, anger, behavioural issues, eating distress, retirement and attachment.

​

Clinical approaches

​

The most important aspect of my practice is the relationship between myself and you, the client.  Creating a safe, approachable environment to ease the building of trust and understanding of one another and to help you feel comfortable enough to share and explore whatever you are experiencing.
