You are welcome regardless of your income, gender, social background, spirituality, abilities, sexuality, ethnic or cultural heritage. If you are affected by discrimination of any kind, be it racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, or ableism, or several of those simultaneously, please know that you can safely and openly talk about it. Such discrimination can take a heavy toll on one's mental health, and should never be brushed aside or minimised.
I am a ‘humanistic’ counsellor: I work using a Person-Centred approach, with some elements from Existential Therapy. This can feel quite different from approaches such as CBT (which is aimed at working from a cognitive and behavioural perspective, and is goal oriented), or Psychodynamic approach (which focuses more on bringing ‘unconscious’ processes to the surface).
My way of working is ‘non directive’: you decide what you wish to bring up in a session. My way of listening is non-judgemental empathy: I will not interpret or assess what you share. Instead I will try to fully understand your experience as you feel it, and my questions will often be aimed towards deepening that empathetic understanding, for us to gain some new insights together.
If you would like to receive counselling but need a translator or BSL supporter to be present, a special 3 person set-up can be discussed and arranged, if you know someone whom you trust to translate for you.
