I will welcome you from first contact with warmth and respect and listen to you without judgement. There are no expectations of you to be anything other than yourself.
Together we will develop a therapeutic relationship which will offer you a safe and calm environment to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are impacting your present and safely reflect and examine past experiences that may be impacting you in your life today.
I am trained and work with a Humanistic integrative approach to therapy. This means you will experience being understood to be the expert on yourself, capable of making choices and decisions. We will develop a relationship that is mutually respectful and supportive that will enable you to take control of your present circumstances, through understanding, self awareness and compassion.
I am experienced working with a diverse range of issues including;
Anxiety
Depression
Low self esteem
Low self confidence
Relationship breakdown/issues
Infertility
Issues arising from long/short term medical conditions
Loss and Bereavement
I work with adults and have a particular interest in working with young people aged 13yrs and above.
Working with Young people I am very passionate about the problems of anxiety, low self esteem/confidence and self harm.
I am an insured member of the NCPS and work within their Ethical Framework.
