I am an experienced integrative counsellor offering a person centred grounding to my practice. I believe that the professional working relationship created through acceptance, honesty and understanding is key to a positive counselling experience and potential outcome and I work hard to maintain that.
My current availability is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and can offer appointments from 9am to 7pm working from a central base in Gillingham, Dorset.
I can offer long or more focused short term therapy and my professional background maintains my experience of working with people of all ages and abilities. My counselling experience has included helping people deal with anxiety (generalised anxiety disorder), trauma, (PTSD), stress and depression, loss and bereavement, relationship difficulties or issues, anger, abuse and health related problems. I have a particular interest in issues surrounding self-image, identity and self-esteem.
My counselling practice can offer you an opportunity to discuss personal problems or worries within a safe and confidential service. You may be experiencing uncertainty in life or with your self, perhaps overwhelming sadness or worries or may have difficulties within a relationship and feel talking it over may help.
I offer a gentle, warm and accepting approach which supports building mutual trust, respect and equality, essential for you to feel comfortable. This is so that any challenges or emotional discomfort you may be experiencing can be explored in a safe and compassionate environment in which to you can discover, reflect and make any choices or life changes.
We can initially arrange a short meeting when we can talk through what you would like from counselling and discuss any questions or concerns you may have. We can see how we feel about working together and then agree on a mutually acceptable time and day.
I look forward to hearing from you and should you feel you would like to find out more just send me an email, text or ring before booking an initial session.
