I am an experienced therapist and a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and also a member of the Association of Christian Counsellors and abide by the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling.
I am warm with a friendly relaxed manner and approach my work in a flexible, sensitive, non-judgmental and relational way. I have a genuine interest in people and will draw alongside you to work through your presenting issues.
When I think about coming to counselling, the word renew seems to embrace the process. Renew means to restore, make new; to begin again. Sometimes you just need a safe space to think, to reflect, to explore your thoughts and feelings, or to address experiences that have depleted you of energy, a sense of self, and of being your authentic self. Sometimes you just need a safe space to press the pause button for a moment, to regain perspective on your life.
My approach is based on humanistic principles, my core modality is person-centred which aims to provide you with a safe space to talk through difficulties in a welcoming and supportive environment, and to find your own ways of addressing issues. As a person centred counsellor I believe that you are the best expert on you, and that together we can dive as deep as you are able to go, in order for you to move forward in your life.
I keep myself up-to-date on development and learning in the profession as a therapist, and some of the training and CPD I have undertaken include Complex Trauma, Imago Relationship Therapy, Inner Child work, working with young people, Bereavement, Family of Origin Wounds: Breaking the Patterns from our Past, Internal Family Systems, Online and Telephone Counselling.
