Hello, a little about me:

Therapists are known not to disclose much about themselves, and for good reason. What a client knows about you may influence what he/she feels safe to share and can get in the way of allsorts of really productive learnings.

Those who have worked with me know that I give away quite a ĺot (relatively) about myself within the therapeutic relationship. Of course, I am always asking myself, "Does this disclosure benefit the client, or is it for me?" but I find that often, sharing forms a very important part of creating a strong working alliance.

So, hello, I am Bella. I am actually Annabelle, but everyone always ends up calling me Bella. I have been practising for about 10 years now in total, and I am really lucky to have a job that I find fascinating and rewarding.

For the last 6 years, I have been working in schools alongside my private practice, and I have recently stepped away to focus more on working with parents. I believe that counselling for young people is extremely important, and the teens I have worked with have taught me more about the world than any client group, but if parents get the right support, then their children reap the benefits.

I like coconut and crispy seaweed and cricket, and I know far better than to tell you about the things I don't like. That would definitely be considered oversharing.

I have some spaces available on Thursdays and Fridays and am always willing to do an intro call to see if they way I work could be supportive for you or even to signpost you elsewhere. So if you are thinking about counselling, do get in touch.
