I am a BACP-credentialed psychotherapeutic counsellor with more than 6,500 hours of counselling experience.
I have been in counselling practice since 2010 and work with adults experiencing difficulties including anxiety, stress, anger, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and significant life changes.
My approach is integrative rather than based on one fixed model. I draw on person-centred principles to build a strong therapeutic relationship, while also working actively and, where helpful, more challengingly.
Counselling may involve exploring present difficulties, past experiences, recurring patterns, relationships, thoughts and feelings, or simply trying to make sense of something that has left you feeling stuck or uncertain.
You do not need to arrive with everything clearly worked out. We can take time to understand what is happening for you, what you would like to change or understand more clearly, and what may help you move forward.
I aim to offer a thoughtful, respectful and collaborative space in which you can speak openly and work at a pace that feels useful to you.
