I am currently welcoming new clients. I work daytime hours during the week.

Experienced counsellor working with children, young people and adults Special interest and experience working with neuro-divergence With children and young people, I offer creative therapies and am very happy to be flexible in approach Humanistic highly sensitive, empathic and intuitive counsellor Primarily relational way of working while integrating various therapeutic models.

I work from a person-centred approach to create a therapeutic relationship based on trust I work very well with anxiety, self-esteem issues, grief, relationship difficulties and low mood, Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and HSP.

I offer an initial session to see how we fit together and will check out with you how you have found it towards the end of the session. If we feel we will work well together, I usually offer a weekly session with an open-ended agreement or if you would prefer I can work to a pre-arranged number of sessions. 

My approach to therapy is non-directive and person-centred. This allows my clients to find their own path, feeling emotional supported and empowered in their personal journey.

In the initial session, I run through the welcome letter I would have emailed you to have an opportunity to explain anything or answer any questions you may have. 

I then ask some questions to find out a bit more about your background and personal history. 

I will let you know when we are nearing the end of the time we have and would check in to see how it has been for you and discuss what we feel would be the best plan going forwards.
