When you're going through a difficult time and looking for help it's important to find someone you connect with. My therapy is about careful listening and genuine, kind empathy which helps to free you up internally and move in a more positive direction. I've been a therapist for over ten years and have worked in three schools, an NHS clinic, and a low-cost therapy centre. I have experience with people aged from young teens up to older clients, from various backgrounds and lifestyles, and with many different types of issues such as grief, trauma, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety. I focus on your actual lived experience, how it is for you, whatever the issue may be. People that work with me change in very personal and meaningful ways so it's hard to say what will happen in therapy or how long it will take; it evolves through the sessions and is as unique as each person attending. Starting therapy is not always an easy decision to make however I encourage you to give it a go. I have seen that therapy can be really helpful and a lot of that has to do with having a connection of loving kindness and trusting in a process that can sometimes be confusing and difficult. Whatever might be troubling you I hope you contact me. I am keen to hear you, be by your side, and help as much as I can. About Me-
I grew up around London, studied Philosophy in Nottingham, then worked in the insurance industry for a number of years before pursuing therapy full-time. How and why people change has become my life's focus and the best expression of that is this career, I can't imagine doing anything else. I now live in Chesterfield where I enjoy practising therapy, occasional hikes into the surrounding hills, amateur gardening, and watching a lot of TV series and films. I am an accredited member of The National Counselling Society and abide by their strict Code of Ethics to provide a safe, professional environment for all of my clients. Person Centred Therapy is grounded in a proven theory with decades of real-world data and scientific analysis showing its effectiveness.
