From a very young age I have been fascinated by people, and the way in which they try to cope through difficult times in their lives.
I have always had the ability to put people at ease by conveying warmth, openness and authenticity. I am non-judgemental and open minded with a a deep sense of empathy towards others.
Having experienced severe trauma in my own life, having healed and recovered from it, I feel it has equipped me with a deeper level of understanding of the struggles we as humans can endure, and what it takes to get through.
Having recovered from unanticipated consequences, and being able to acknowledge the mountain that I personally needed to climb to overcome this, I am now deeply moved and fulfilled when I can help and support someone who is struggling to cope with their mental health and daily life. This includes symptoms and manifestations associated with grief, anxiety, hopelessness, trauma and despair.
‘At its best, therapy helps us experience more meaning, more fulfilment and contentment in our lives.’
I offer Person-centred counselling with an integrative approach, and have a Counselling Diploma Level 4 with 20 years experience of counselling.
I am an Accredited member of the BACP (Membership number 386354) and am committed to working in accordance with their ethical framework.
I am also an accredited member of the National Counselling Society.
During my career a great deal of my work has been with anxiety, depression, feelings of sadness, bereavement, trauma, issues of attachment and loss, relationship difficulties, and struggles relating to low self-esteem, self-worth and issues around feelings of fear and shame.
Currently, I am employed as a Remote counsellor with a global health insurance company and have my own private practice.
I have a wealth of experience working with anxiety, depression, low mood, feelings of sadness and low self-esteem. I support clients through life transitions, and health problems, including cancer.
I work extensively with issues relating to grief, bereavement and loss, including pregnancy loss. I have worked as as an Adoption counsellor for the General Register Office under section 51 Adoption Act 1976. This provided me with the opportunity to gain a wealth of knowledge, skills and experience working with adopted adults.
