I am a registered member of the BACP in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, grief, work related stress, chronic illness and associated pain.
My personal philosophy is that I believe that everyone carries a puzzle within them and they also hold the answers to the puzzle.
Think of it looking like a Rubik's cube. Sometimes it can get a little jumbled through life events like relationship breakdown, stress and loss.
Sometimes the squares could be confusion or something hidden, it’s my job as the counsellor to help you make sense of that square and what it means to you.
It is not about completing the whole puzzle - putting in some of the pieces could be enough for you to feel positive change.
I work in a relational way, I'm not scared to use analogies or use pop culture to enhance the therapeutic relationship. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
