Individual Counselling

​

I have been a counsellor for over 20 years.  I have gained vast experience employed in a palliative health care setting working with the individuals requiring care, and their families, whilst also keeping a private practice supporting clients on a variety of issues.

​

Whether you are coming to counselling to work on past events or a current situation that you are finding difficult, your sessions will give you an opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings, providing you with a safe space to find a resolution.

​

I am, primarily, a Person-Centred Counsellor but I integrate other modalities into therapy sessions as required including CBT, hypnotherapy, stress management techniques, and mindfulness.   Working in an integrative way allows me to draw upon different models and theories thereby tailoring therapy to your individual needs, through understanding and make sense of how things are for you now, so together we may explore a different future.

​

I began my journey originally as a holistic therapist before moving into the counselling profession, in 2006.  My passion is to help people to help themselves in creating positive changes in their life.  I still approach my work with a holistic ethos, seeing a person in all that they are, and all that they are working to become.

Life limiting Illness and Bereavement

​

My work in a palliative health care setting has included working with patients and their family members on issues that relate to the impact of the terminal illness, such as loss of identity and purpose, managing anxiety and stress, loss through bereavement, and ambiguous loss; helping them restore a sense of hope and peace within their lives.
