A warm and welcoming space to be heard

Voicing your own unique experiences and feelings at your own pace in a warm, non-judgmental space can be beneficial during times of change, difficulty or loss.

Through person-centred, non-directive talking therapy, I will provide an opportunity for you to safely explore your concerns and emotions freely and openly.

You will be heard with empathic acceptance and together we can gain a greater insight and understanding of your situation. We can consider your unique experiences and how they may be impacting you.

This therapeutic process can lead to greater self-awareness and self-acceptance and to finding ways to progress that you feel comfortable with.

Through my experience as a placement counsellor in a medical centre, I have repeatedly seen how calm, compassionate and collaborative connection can prove invaluable during times of challenge.

I work with:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Stress
  • Bereavement - I have undertaken specialist bereavement training
  • Miscarriage - I have 10 years of experience of charitable support work with bereaved parents and have completed SANDS training for counsellors. I am an approved counsellor on the Miscarriage Association counselling directory, and am trained by and listed with The Foundation for Infant Loss.
  • Losses experienced through changes of circumstances including retirement, menopause, redundancy, relationships, changes in health or of future plans
  • Low self-esteem
  • Personal development
