Do you ever get the feeling that something just isn't quite right, but you can't put your finger on it? Do you find yourself more and more often retreating to be by yourself? Maybe you find yourself overwhelmed by distorted and often unhelpful ways of thinking. Are you behaving in ways that seem out of character or self-sabotaging which can sometimes lead to:
Depression
Prolonged periods of unexplained sadness & low mood
Anxiety
Relationship Difficulties
Anger Issues
Impacting work, social, family, school life
Lack of self-esteem and self-belief
Breakdowns
Isolation
Perhaps you have experienced or are currently going through something life changing and you are unsure how to cope with it or come to terms with it.
Whatever it is that brings you to my page; I want you to know that you do not have to do all of this on your own. As a fully trained and registered Counsellor; I aim to offer you a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where together, we can work though those difficult aspects of your life. I will be by your side whilst you identify helpful shifts in familiar patterns of thought, language and behaviour and support your process of making positive changes in your life and moving forward.
I work with individuals living with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and I have had success in supporting those individuals build resilience, reduce anxiety and find creative ways to help them understand themselves and their trigger points.
EATING DISORDERS
I have completed the Masters Practitioner Programme in Eating Disorders & Obesity. The training is through the National Centre for Eating Disorders, which is a world renowned centre with training accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). For more information about this kind of support, please visit my website.
ABOUT ME
I believe in you being the expert of your world, so we will work with what you bring. The focus and the aim of our work will be decided by you and my hope is that I can provide you with a space that empowers you to talk about things that are causing you unease and distress. I will support you in helping you to understand yourself; find answers for your problems and thereby make positive changes.
I work in an integrative way and this means I will draw on different approaches and ways of working in order to best suit and honour your unique and individual needs.
I hold enhanced DBS clearance which allows me to work with different client groups; including adults, young people and children.
PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIP
I hold professional registration with both the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling Society (NCS). I am also an affiliate of the National Centre for Eating Disorders.
