What is counselling?

About Counselling

Counselling offers a confidential space for you to talk to a trained professional about your issues and concerns. As a counsellor I will not analyse you, tell you what to do or prescribe a course of action to you. Instead my aim is to help you explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours so you can develop a better understanding of yourself and your experience.

Individual

Person-centred Counselling

Person-centred counselling is a form of talking therapy that can help clients to gain a greater understanding of themselves, develop a stronger sense of self, self-esteem and self-acceptance, and work towards achieving their personal goals and aspirations.

Specialist Bereavement

and Loss Counselling

Experiencing a loss or bereavement can have a profound impact on your life. While everyone experiences grief differently, some common symptoms of grief may include sadness, anger, guilt, anxiety, depression, difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite, and social isolation. Bereavement counselling can provide a safe and supportive space to express your feelings and thoughts about the loss, and work through the many challenges and changes that come with the grieving process.

What I offer

About me

I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Counselling. My way of working is rooted in the principles of the person-centred approach, however, every client's journey is unique and I also draw on aspects of psychodynamic and existential counselling and mindfulness-based approaches in response to what emerges in our work together.

Before starting in private practice, I worked with adult clients in community services, a drug and substance misuse support agency and a bereavement service.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), whose code of ethics I follow.
