I am passionate about Counselling and the power it can have to change a persons life. Do you suffer from low self esteem? Perhaps you always find yourself saying yes when you really mean no. Do you put everyone else first and then feel angry or upset that your needs and wants are not being met? Maybe you have an inner critic who just won't shut up, making you second guess yourself and worry about every decision? Whatever your experience is, I am here to help.
About me and my practice
I work from a cosy home office, which is an inviting space where I hope you will feel welcome and safe to talk about your lived experience and the issues that you are facing. Often our previous experiences can impact us in the here and now and we find that we are carrying around all kinds of rules, assumptions and beliefs that shape our view of the world and how we behave in it. We can also carry pain and trauma around with us, having a detrimental impact on our mental health and wellbeing. Through therapy I aim to build a relationship with each of my clients so that they feel safe to explore and understand themselves on a deeper level. This understanding can really impact the way we think and the choices we make. It also allows us to be kinder and more compassionate to ourselves which helps with emotional regulation and self esteem. The knowledge and insight it brings to my clients can be absolutely life changing and affirming!
Experience

I have particular knowledge around ADHD and Autism and how this can impact individuals and their families.

Initial Consultation
I offer a free 15 minutes initial phone call or online meeting to assess your needs and determine if we can work together. It is crucial that you find the right therapist, one you can connect with and feel understood by.
During your first session we will address all of the intake paperwork, and start to take a look at why you have chosen to come to therapy and how I can help you to meet you mental health needs. We will discuss in detail how we intend to work together and agree on an approach that works for you.
