I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an Accredited Registrant with the National Counselling Society (NCS) which are the associations for members of the counselling professions in the UK. The relationship between therapist and client is an important factor is facilitating change and I offer an environment that is non-judgemental, inclusive
and empathic. Over the years, I have worked with many different people of all ages from children through to older adults, from different backgrounds and cultures, each with their own individual experiences. I work with people who want to understand themselves on a deeper level, or who use therapy as an ongoing way to maintain their happiness and well-being. It is not always easy to face difficulties and find ways to resolve them, but I have worked with and seen people find ways to understand themselves in a d way that brings about the changes which then lead to more positive, fulfilled and interesting ways of living. The therapeutic process can help you to grow in times of anxiety and mental stress and become a stronger version of yourself. I have studied many differing modalities over the years, and now use an approach that includes aspects of these within my practice including solution focused, trauma informed, brief solution focused, with maintaining a person centred approach at the heart of all I do, putting the person at the centre of the therapeutic journey. It's natural to feel apprehensive or uncertain about what to expect from therapy if you haven't been before. I will provide a welcoming and non-judgemental environment for us to explore together what you feel and look at how this is negatively impacting your life which will then support you to work towards feeling happier and more fulfilled.
