About me and my therapy practice
I am a welcoming and non-judgemental person and this is evident in all areas of my life and work. My naturally calm, accepting and caring approach offers clients a highly supportive therapeutic space.
I am part of a thriving counselling, training and supervision practice with purpose built premises to comfortably offer sessions from.
For nearly 15 years I worked with the NHS, much of this for Leeds and York Partnership Foundation Trust - an NHS body that helps people with severe and enduring mental health conditions.
Having significant first hand experience of working in several mental health services, I developed a keen interest in mental health and a passion to help others.
Qualifying as a counsellor enabled me to begin offering therapy myself informed by this wealth of experience.
I am now part of a thriving counselling, training and supervision practice with purpose built premises to comfortably offer sessions from.
Practice description
I offer a truly person centred approach to therapy, I believe that the individual is the expert in their own lives and I aim to let that inner knowledge drive the work whilst drawing on my own unique experience as a therapist.
I also have undergone extensive training in Autism and ADHD. To offer a neuro affirming experience, catering to those with a neurodiversity themselves, neuroiverse families or thoughts that they might have neurodiversity and want to explore that.
I am also a qualified relationship therapist. In this I bring that person centred core approach and integrate that with tools and psycho education from a variety of sources including Imago Therapy, EFT and the Gottman Method.
