In counselling we can work together to enable you to heal and become more accepting of yourself, be more connected to those around and live a fuller and deeper life. I work by providing a safe space to explore what has happened in your life, allowing these events to be processed. I bring my empathy and kindness to build a relationship where you feel safe to explore whatever needs to be considered allowing the healing process to begin. I might notice patterns or observe behaviours allowing a deeper journey into your unconscious.

Whilst completing my Masters in Counselling at University of Northampton I developed my skills to become a qualified integrative counsellor. Prior to this I had completed CPCAB Level 2 Counselling studies and CPCAB Level 3 Counselling Skills. My core skills are humanistic focusing on a belief that the therapeutic relationship is the way healing occurs. We can use my skills to build this therapeutic relationship and, as an integrative counsellor, I can note patterns, reflect back observations and give space to enable healing to occur. Additionally, I have completed training to work online, trauma training, Safeguarding level 3 and have a full DBS check.

I worked in a general counselling agency working with a wide range of adults and needs such as grief, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, neurodiversity, relationship breakdown, major life changes and identity issues. During my time working at a charity for survivors of abuse I developed trauma informed therapy skills and undertook trauma training.

Initially, I invite you to arrange a free 20 minute phone call to discuss what you would like from counselling and see if you feel that we could work together. If you decide to go ahead we can book a session at my Rugby counselling room or online. The sessions are 50 minutes long and are payable either in cash or BACS. I can accommodate short term or long term work.
