I chose to work as a counsellor/psychotherapist because I believe at some stage in people’s lives there is a need to reach out for help outside of family and friends for many different reasons and I feel that I can offer the help and support to make positive changes to lives and the difficulties a person maybe experiencing. I believe a therapeutic relationship is of paramount importance with trust in the counsellor being the cornerstone of therapy, empowering people and gain confidence in their own ability to move forwards. I work with clients in a non-directive way on their journey to making these changes.
At present I am working for a service which offers counselling to people suffering from cancer and also a bereavement counselling service for families and I also have a private practice and offer counselling for a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, relationships, anger and issues related to self esteem/confidence.
In the past I have worked in mental health in both acute and chronic settings and in a day centre with clients who have a variety of mental health issues and I gained a lot of experience working with a large variety of clients in this challenging setting.
My approach is humanistic/person-centred and work in a safe non judgmental and confidential setting with warmth, empathy and understanding building a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. My hours are flexible
