Mental health issues can have a profound impact on us, affecting out behaviour, thoughts and feelings. We all have mental health problems, which affects our daily life and causes worry. It is vital that we seek the correct support and professional guidance, ultimately, finding what works best for you. Counselling provides a safe and confidential space where you can begin to talk through your difficulties without feeling judged.

​

How I Work With Clients 

Firstly, I am DBS checked and hold professional indemnity insurance which fully covers my work. I work with adults (18+). My approach is carefully chosen, drawing upon a variety of theoretical models and tailored to suit the individual needs of the client. I work with clients face to face, over Zoom and on the phone.

​

The initial task for the therapist is to provide a confidential space, offering a non-judgemental, a respectful attitude, in which there is a genuine intention to understand the issues you wish to discuss. Offering my help to make sense of these mixed feelings you're having, may able you to move to a more compassionate view of your life, where you may begin to plan changes for your life that are needed for you to feel in control and balanced.

 

Most importantly, working in a relational way is at the heart of what I do. During therapy, I will encourage you to talk about your life, events, feelings, emotions, patterns of behaviour and ways of thinking. I will listen empathetically and help you explore those things without judgement. Therapy is not about me telling you what to do, rather it will encourage you to talk about what is concerning you.
