I am a qualified integrative counsellor registered with BACP and CMA (complementary medical association) I offer a safe calm space where you can explore openly and be met with understanding. I work with young people and adults on a short- or long-term basis. I support people through life’s challenges, traumas and losses. I believe you don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from counselling, however I do offer single sessions to support in the moment and am a mental health first aider which is first aid for the mind. Currently I work for an EAP company where I complete assessments, single sessions to help in the here and now. I also work with MIND where I support with the wellbeing of a mental health group. If you are curious about working together, I offer a free 15minute consultation.
I am a mobile therapist and offer home visits to those who struggle to leave their homes. I offer in person sessions at the weekends and work online in the evenings and weekends.
Prior to therapy I have worked for many years in educational settings, mainly schools, I also worked in care homes for young people and supported living placements for vulnerable adults experiencing mental health conditions. I realised I wanted to offer more to the people I worked with, however there were limitations to my help and support. This made me embark on my therapeutic journey and I haven’t looked back.
My approach
My priority is to meet you where you are. I work in a holistic way, connecting the mind and body together. I am flexible in my approach and will draw upon the modality that best suits your needs at the time. Sometimes we find it hard to express how we feel, there may be no words. Trauma can become stuck in the body, and I will support you with locating the feeling and together we can release any stuck energy using a sound bowl that is placed on the body. The sound waves and vibrations from the bowl will penetrate the body’s tissues and cells influencing the nervous system to move from fight or flight to rest and digest which in turn calms the nervous system and promotes relaxation and offers a deeper healing experience.
I also incorporate EFT into my sessions. EFT is a stress relief practice where you tap on specific acupoints of the body (particularly on the face) while focusing on a feeling or a problem. This practice can reduce stress and release emotional blocks.
Therapy is a slow process and a unique experience to everyone; I have an open, honest, compassionate and non-judgmental attitude. My empathic approach is to walk alongside you to help make sense of difficult experiences. Together we can explore vulnerabilities to gain a deeper understanding and for you to gain insight and self-awareness. I work in a non-directive way; I will work with what you bring to the session and at your pace.
