I believe that the starting point of counselling is to build a good therapeutic relationship which I consider to be essential as it may be the first time you have had an opportunity to share intimate thoughts, beliefs, and emotions regarding any issues or difficulties you may have experienced. I will work in collaboration with you and offer a safe space for you to explore thoughts, feelings, and difficulties. I will support you to get to know yourself as you really are, so you can show up fully and live your life authentically. You will be supported to find your own answers and make any changes you feel necessary to your inner and outer world.

Description of my online supervision service:
I offer either 60 minutes or 90 minutes to qualified and trainee counsellors.
My theory is person-centred although I offer Integrative therapy which is a progressive form of psychotherapy that combines different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the needs of the individual client.
I specialise in helping the clients explore their emotions/feelings and understand their behaviours; how their past influences their present day. We can't change the past but we can let go of it. Leaving us free to recognise we have choices and there is more than one path.
I am not only a therapist I am a human being who has her own story to inform my practice

You may have noticed that you are not feeling your usual self. Life may be getting increasingly difficult, and you don’t know where to turn for support. You may find it helpful to start talking this through with someone who is here to listen calmly and not judge what you say. I support clients with low mood, anxiety, depression, relationship breakdown, sexual difficulties, stress, anger, low confidence, low self-esteem, loss, or trauma.

I am an Integrative trained Counsellor & Psychotherapist, this approach consists of a number of different elements of specific therapies. Integrative counselling & Psychotherapy has the belief that one single therapy can not treat everybody. I believe everyone is unique – you will never come across anyone who is the same as you; in the way you think, the way you react to things or the way in which you deal with situations/experiences. As a result of this belief I believe your Counselling & Psychotherapy, needs to be tailored to suit you and your needs.
Through raising awareness, Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy helps to establish a healthy link between body and mind: empowering you to start setting goals, creating new positive patterns of behaviours which will allow you to move beyond the limitations which have been placed upon you, either by yourself or by others. This approach works best to establish your personal limits and external constraints that could prevent you from achieving your goals. We work together to establish the best way to achieve your goals, that are going to work in your best interest and your favour.
I aim to promote healing and utilise a holistic approach to facilitate mental, physical and emotional growth so that you are able to reach your full potential. Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy can help you to face each moment openly and explore those moments; allowing you to focus on your fears and hurts so that you’re able to regain freedom from the baggage holding you down

Counselling and coaching both provide a safe space for you to explore issues, thoughts and feelings that you may be finding it hard to talk about with other people – or, perhaps, admit to yourself.
We can work together via video, phone/VoIP, live chat/IM or email - or a combination of these, depending on what suits you best.

Whatever you’re facing, you don’t need to be all alone with it. A trusting relationship with an empathetic counsellor can be the first step towards healing. I offer a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings. When we’re overcome with grief, anxiety, or other overwhelming states, being deeply heard can be very healing. Counselling can give you greater clarity about yourself, your relationships, and your strengths. I’m a psychodynamic therapist, which means I’m attentive to how your past may be affecting your present. I seek to facilitate your own, unique, journey towards being authentically yourself in the world.
Looking for a counsellor can be daunting. It’s important to find a therapist you feel you can build a trusting relationship with. I offer a free 15-minute consultation if you'd like to chat about how I might be able to help you. As a psychodynamic counsellor, I listen for how your past experiences might be being triggered or re-enacted in the present. If we can start to identify and resolve past hurts, we can more easily see when we’re unconsciously reacting to the past and repeating old patterns. And then we become more able to make new, conscious, choices in life.
Alongside talking therapy, I can work with you to understand how your body may be expressing or holding on to emotions that can’t always be put into words. Therapy goes at your own pace. By being gently accompanied in exploring your inner world, you can better discover who you are, and ways to contend with what’s impacting you.
I have worked with depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, bereavement, spiritual questions, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. My interests include: chronic illness (particularly ME/CFS), caring, belonging and identity, infertility and adoption. I love the creative possibilities of online counselling, and find this way of [...]
