About me and my therapy practice
Hello there. I am Âé¶¹Ô´´ Accredited counsellor with a special interest in working with clients with attachment issues from dysfunctional childhoods. I have lived experience of this background.
I have been a qualified counsellor for 8 years.
I am also a breathwork coach with an interest in working with the body to process trauma and distress. I can work creatively with clients using artwork and story-telling using Gestalt interventions when appropriate.
"If we don't know the trees, we can get lost in the forest. If we don't know the stories, we can get lost in life."
(Please note, I am not the best fit for you if you have anxiety disorders such as OCD, and would suggest CBT in the first instance. Nor do I specialise in severe or long term eating disorders.)
Practice description
Are you struggling with your inner critic or as Brene Brown calls it, the 'shame gremlin'? Whatever is present for you, it's always good to connect, feel heard and like someone really gets you.
Looking at ourselves is not always comfortable, but perhaps you have reached the point where it feels necessary?
I offer a gentle space in which I aim to understand what your life is like for you at the moment. I believe that people have the innate resources to heal, live and thrive in spite of adversity. I have witnessed this both as a counsellor and throughout the 16 years I worked in mental health and addiction support.
I am a trauma informed therapist and work with clients who have mental health and addiction issues as well as other difficulties. I have experience working with people who are bereaved and have long term health conditions. I’ve worked with cancer patients as well as for the NHS working with renal patients.
