About Me
Hello there! I provide a warm, supportive, and practical approach to help individuals understand themselves better, navigate life’s challenges, and encahnce their relationships. My aim is to support you in feeling more empowered, present, and in control of your life.
With over thirty years of experience as a qualified and accredited counsellor, including fifteen years of EMDR accreditation, I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. My expertise lies particularly in anxiety and trauma, gained through twenty years of service within the NHS.
My professional journey has taken me through various settings, including community mental health practices, hospitals, schools, and addiction/rehabilitation centres. I’ve worked with individuals facing a wide range of issues such as sexual, emotional an physical abuse, addictions, anxiety and panic, bereavement, rape, domestic violence, workplace and family bullying and much more.
I believe in tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each client. My therapeutic style is integrative, drawing from a variety of theories and techniques. I take pride in helping individuals reconnect with their authentic selves, recognizing the resilience and wisdom inherent within each person.
In addition to my work with individuals, I’m also trained to assist people facing challenges in their relationships or sexual health. Currently, I’m working towards EMDR Consultancy and expanding my expertise as an EMDR practitioner and supervisor.
I understand first hand the importance of investing in one’s own well-being, having undergone intensive therapy myself. I recognize the courage it takes to seek support and make positive vhanges, especially during tough times. Remember, there are always options and choices available to you. Therapy provides lasting benefits, equipping you with tools to navigate challenges, break unhealty patterns, and live a more fulfilling life. It can be a positive and empowering experience. It can help you understand yourself better, improve relationships, cope with stress, and boost self-esteem.
Seeking therapy is a courageous step forward self-awareness and growth. It’s a commitment to your well-being. If you’re ready to take this step towards healing and growth, please don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment.
