My style of counselling
I am an integrative counsellor. I have done my training looking at various models of counselling and finding the styles that best suit me and others. I like to work creatively with my clients as well as theoretically.
I have a person-centred core. This means you are at the centre of our sessions. I am led by you and what you choose to discuss during our sessions.
The integrative style means that I can use methods of counselling that I feel best meet your needs and that I feel you will benefit most from. This can mean that over the course of our sessions I may use different models at different times to meet your needs at that time.
I work in a creative way as well as a more traditional approach. Sometimes I may invite you to explore things in a more creative way and not always by talking as I understand sometimes words can feel too much.
I can help support you with anxiety, depression, exploring feelings, trauma, confidence building, illness or new diagnosis, pain/chronic pain, bereavement, stress, sleep, self harm and much more.
Sessions
I can offer face to face, online or telephone sessions for both children and adults.
My room is based at my home.
I aim to provide a confidential, non-judgemental, warm and friendly space for you to feel heard.
I do not ask clients to commit to any number of sessions but instead believe it is important for clients to have as much or as little as they feel appropriate. I therefore offer both short term and long term counselling.
I work with an integrative model. This means I choose the method of counselling that I feel best meets your needs and that I feel will benefit you the most. Ultimately I try to give you a space where you can feel heard.
I can also offer a more creative form of counselling, allowing you to express yourself in various ways not just through words. I understand that sometimes we don't have the words to express how you feel, working in a creative manner allows us to express ourselves non-verbally.
The first session I aim to provide an open and honest therapeutic session where we can get to know each other. I send out contracts prior to the first session (when a date has been agreed) and ask that clients read through this, if possible, before the session. This allows any questions to be asked during our first session.
