An Accredited Counsellor, with over 10 years’ experience, the main focus of my training, and my work with clients comes from the principles of the Person-Centred approach and Gestalt Therapy. When the therapeutic relationship is established and if appropriate and okay with you, I use different tools and techniques from other theories to help you.
As a person-centred therapist I believe in putting you at the centre of the work, I will listen to you as you tell your story. My aim is to get to know and understand you, with the belief that the best way to empower and help someone is tapping into their strengths and wisdom within. I look at you as an individual, I don't try to fit you into a box. Through giving you a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space, we can begin to learn and process what hurts you and how, together we can help make it better for you.
I have extensive experience working in a Primary care setting, therefore working with a range of presentations, such as depression, anxiety, bereavement & loss, relationship issues and trauma. I also have experience in working with women and girls who have survived domestic and gender-based violence. Nonetheless, I work with varying problems, if it’s a problem for you, then it matters.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Anger management, Career difficulties, Compassion fatigue, Domestic Violence, Life purpose, Multicultural Concerns, Prejudice and Discrimination, Self-love
