​

When a client comes to counselling feeling vulnerable or anxious the therapist's role is to offer a genuine relationship, empathy and unconditional acceptance. If the client perceives this then there will be positive change in the client.

 

As your therapist I will offer you unconditional acceptance, warmth, and a genuine non-judgmental relationship in our sessions together. I am 'non-directive', and you the client leads in the session.

 

​I have experience working with a wide range of issues including low self-esteem and confidence, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse. 

 

I believe that counselling should be completely non-discriminatory and as part of this belief I work with a LGBTQ+ affirmative approach. I have experience working with gender, sex and relationship diversity, trans and questioning people and their families. 

 

I am also sensitive to issues surrounding neuro-diverse clients, ethnically diverse communities and culture as well as individuals’ religious beliefs.

 

I adhere to the BACP’s ethical framework for good practice, attend regular professional supervision and ensure I take part in continuing professional development training. I also have a clear Enhanced DBS Certificate.
