Counselling can address a wide range of issues, offering a space to explore anything causing emotional pain or discomfort. Through active listening and empathy, I aim to build a strong therapeutic relationship, providing the safety you need to navigate and heal from difficult feelings or situations.
My training includes:
I understand that young people often find it hard to express their feelings. By incorporating creative therapy methods, I make this process easier, using approaches beyond talking that can open emotions and help guide them through their challenges. I am committed to tailoring therapy to everyone, aiming to create a comfortable environment where they can share their story.
Confidentiality is crucial in counselling. For young people under 18, what is shared stays between us unless:
If it would be helpful for a parent or guardian to know something you've shared, I will discuss it with you first. With your agreement, we can decide together how to share that information.
Counselling can help with a variety of concerns. Some of the issues I have worked with include:
There is no set agenda for what clients can bring to a counselling session. While some clients may come with a specific issue, others may simply feel that they are not as happy as they could be in life. If an issue is affecting you in any way, it is important to me.
I work with young people from 12+ and adults from 18+. I offer an initial free 20-minute online Zoom session or phone appointment to understand what you hope to gain from counselling. If we both feel it is appropriate to continue, further sessions are 50 minutes long at a cost of £60 per session. My availability is as follows:
I offer clinical supervision to those in the counselling profession but I also offer supervision to any individual or organisation that feels they need extra support within their work. Similar to my counselling services, I offer a free 20-minute online Zoom session or phone appointment to understand your needs.
My counselling room is up several steps, so, unfortunately, It is not suitable for people who have difficulties with their mobility. However, if this is an issue, please still get in touch as online counselling is always an option.
If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to ask. I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery.
