"Often enough we do not know our own minds. In the process of dialogue with another person we are able to clarify what we think and feel."

INTERESTS
I am interested in anything that concerns, angers, limits or upsets you, that you would like to talk about. It can be something quite recent and short lived, to something that continually blights your life, to upsetting memories from childhood.
TRAINING
In 2019, I gained a Level 5 Diploma in Counselling from Middlesex University.
As well as counselling adults, I have experience of working within schools with young people; age 12-18.
I have worked within a hospice environment with people with life limiting illness, their loved ones and the recently bereaved. Loss in its’ many guises is a fact of life and we find it everywhere, as all change brings with it some form
of loss.

HOW I WORK
I offer a warm welcome, a listening presence, striving to understand, while allowing you to direct the sessions. I will often reflect and summarise what you have shared, offer occasional interpretation and challenge, all with your very best interests at heart.
Should I see a benefit, I may offer thought or behavioural exercises, psychoeducation, or creative intervention to support your growing awareness and movement towards your chosen goal. You too are very welcome to ask to work with any of these resources.
I work with all people, 16 yrs old and above.
We can meet face to face in my studio, via video/audio conferencing, on the telephone, or via email.
As we tend not to bring what is happy, what is enjoyable to counselling, it is worth bearing in mind that the journey can be difficult and upsetting, but it is worth persevering to grow in self-awareness, the starting place of change.
