What is it that you're seeking from therapy/a therapist? Someone to give you answers, someone to listen, or perhaps a space to process current or past events? If you're experiencing thoughts, emotions or playing out patterns that you would rather not, then therapy could be a great space to work through this. Whilst I don't have all the answers, I can help you realise that the answers you seek are within and together we can bring these to light for you to implement change if it feels right.
About me and my practice
What are you seeking from therapy/from a therapist? Someone to give you answers, someone to listen, or perhaps a space where you can be unashamedly yourself & speak freely? I can support you in your journey even if you don't yet know how that looks.
If you'd like to work with a therapist who has integrity & appropriate boundaries, someone who can provide clarity & who does exactly what she says she will, then I can help. Im not just someone who has learnt the theory of therapy, I have lived it, made the changes, and come out the other side. And I'm here to help you do the same! I prioritise compassion, kindness & sensitivity as much as reliability, theory, ethics & respect. These are key in my private practice. I offer a genuine commitment to growing a relationship where you can share all your concerns, hopes and fears. When trust grows, through working collaboratively you can make changes and achieve the goals you desire.
Whilst I may be relatively new to the profession compared to some, my personal journey of self-discovery has been ongoing for the last 22 years, giving me a level of self-awareness that works directly to your benefit. This deep commitment to my own reflective practice means that I can sit with your heaviest, most complex emotions without becoming overwhelmed or reactive. They say a therapist can only go as far with a client as they have gone with themselves. Because I have done that deep, internal work, I am uniquely equipped to meet you in your depth of feeling whilst anchoring our sessions with safety, stability, and clarity. Furthermore, as a counselling tutor I know that I am accomplished at creating a space where you will feel able to share whatever you choose, even in an online environment.
I have seen & experienced that when a person learns to accept themselves and has faced their fears, they can flourish. No matter what has gone before. This is why, if you would like, I work holistically. It's often not just what we think, but how we
Experience
My counselling training was undertaken at an award-winning men's well-being centre and a large percentage of my clients have been and are male. I have worked a lot with trauma and have experience with many forms of abuse, both with victims and perpetrators of. I have 10 years experience in Mental Health Work, having supported adults struggling with many concerns including (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, bipolar, PTSD, suicidal thoughts, disordered eating and social anxiety. I also have experienced working for a homeless division of a housing association where I saw a lot of drug and alcohol use, acute trauma, abuse and prostitution within our client base.
I call myself trauma-informed as since qualifying I have increased my knowledge by studying trauma. This is ongoing for me and I have a certificate as a trauma-informed coach. In practical terms this means that I can work with trauma in a way that puts people at ease and will not re-traumatise them. It is a very delicate and client-led way of working.
As an integrative therapist, I am versed in several counselling modalities as opposed to just one, meaning that I have a variety of skills and approaches I can adopt to tailor my work very specifically to each individual. For you this means there's real versatility with how we can work and I can adapt to best meet your needs. We can be creative or solution focused, I could educate you in theory that may resonate. We can sit and talk, or we can do breath-work, mindfulness or visualisation.
It all depends on and is adapted specifically to you. No script, no cliched responses. And as a therapeutic counsellor I have trained to work at depth and to look at underlying, long term issues.
