My journey into counselling
I am a qualified and highly experienced Counsellor & Psychotherapist, registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the Children and Young People & Families Division (CYPF). Professional credibility and integrity are essential prerequisites to my work. I work with adults and adolescents and specialise in trauma. To safeguard my service and clients, I have monthly clinical supervision.
In recent years, I have been working for the Child Adolescent & Mental Health Service (CAMHS) as a Manager & Lead Clinician, Barnardo's, Children's Charities, working with children & young people with post-abuse trauma, as well as working in private practice for over 20 years. I have also worked with the Police, Victim Support, Primary & Secondary Schools & GPs in a counselling management, child protection, and safeguarding role.
My unique approach to your well-being
My approach is based on a belief that we all strive for and have the capacity to fulfil our own potential. Our life experiences can sometimes negatively impact our personal growth and how we feel about ourselves and our place in this world. I will help with facilitating positive change.
One of the most valued aspects of counselling & psychotherapy is the opportunity to share and open up to someone trustworthy, genuine, and trained in this field. It is an opportunity to be able to communicate emotions that perhaps you haven’t been able to talk about before and have them understood and validated with empathy in a confidential setting. The decision to take yourself into counselling is always a personal, courageous, and respected one. All of my work is guided by the principle of being responsive to your unique needs and providing a bespoke service.
Empowering your personal growth
After working with me, I hope clients feel heard, understood, and equipped with a renewed sense of self-awareness and resilience. My aim is for you to leave our sessions feeling more empowered to navigate life's challenges, with a clearer understanding of your emotions and a stronger capacity for personal growth. Ultimately, I want you to feel a sense of peace and optimism for your future.
"I have no idea where to start, the help you have given me has made so much of a difference than you can imagine. I am forever grateful to you for everything you have done. You have been the most life changing role in my life".
