About Me
Nice to meet you. If you've found your way to my website then there's a good chance you're looking for someone to support you through life's challenges.
That's where I come in. I'm an online Counsellor, supporting women of all ages throughout the UK. I love what I do.
Counselling is all about building connections so that we can work together to tackle whatever you're going through.
I am passionate about helping women to build their confidence and resilience, and to strengthen their relationships.
I've been described as caring, empathic, friendly, and relatable.
I have experience supporting people through a wide range of life’s difficulties.
This includes depression, anxiety, relationship issues, domestic abuse, bereavement, loss, fertility, miscarriage, the IVF process, illness, menopause, and postnatal depression.
I’ve had counselling myself and I know how powerful it can be.
My approach to counselling:
I believe that we can all benefit from having a safe and comfortable space to take a break and explore our feelings, without judgement.
In counselling we work together to build a relationship where you can feel comfortable.
I am not here to advise you or to tell you what to do; although I may occasionally offer tools that might be useful in everyday life.
This doesn't mean that I'll sit there silently nodding, leaving you feeling uncomfortable. It means that I will listen to you and I will work with you to give you the opportunity to get to know yourself and find solutions that work for you.
If you want to know more about my training or theoretical grounding, then I would say that I am an integrative counsellor who works from a person-centred base. I incorporate an interest in Attachment and Transactional Analysis.
What does this actually mean?
Essentially, my training has covered a range of different theories about what makes us tick, and how we can overcome challenges in our lives.
