My Qualifications & working with you, the client
I was a Registered Nurse for over 20 years working in various departments. I'm a qualified Counsellor in Integrative counselling. I completed my training in Iron Mill College, accredited to Worcester University. I am a Registered Member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) . In June 2023 I completed my BSc (Hons) in Integrative Counselling. I’m qualified as a trauma informed therapist as one of my main interests in client therapy is the wide spectrum of trauma and the vast range of symptoms associated with its issues which it can cause such as but not limited to dissociation, PTSD, anxiety and depression. I continually updated my skills and knowledge through educational programs so my clients get up to date evidence based practice in their sessions.
I can provide appointments online or in person In the comfort of your own home. Please feel free to contact me via phone or email for more information or to book an appointment.
My Philosophy
My plan is to meet you where you are at, at that moment in time....
Therapy can be hard, I'm not going to lie!
It is important that you feel safe and secure at all times during the counselling process, whether you choose to have in person or online therapy. I believe that it is my role to ensure that I provide a space that you can be open and honest at all times. I will listen with an empathic non-judgemental ear and be completely genuine at all times. Everything you say to me will be confidential, which will enable us to build a trusting, warm therapeutic relationship. I provide a holistic environment for you to explore the issues and problems that have bought you to see me.
With a large 'toolbox' of strategies and recognition of what can help or hinder, I also believe that experiencing challenging times can help create resilience, strength, courage, autonomy and enhancing self-awareness.
I passionately believe that through working in an integrative way, you will be able to build on your self confidence, esteem and carry the skills you have developed in our counselling sessions out into life in a positive way!
The way I see myself in your counselling journey is this...
I am merely the conductor on the train of your counselling journey, you decide where we are traveling to, which forks on the track change the direction of it and what the final destination is.
YOU ARE AT THE CENTRE OF EVERYTHING I DO!
