What is Therapy?
Psychotherapy & Counselling can improve and increase your self-awareness and autonomy as well as help you to live a more fulfilling, authentic and meaningful life.
Psychotherapy & Counselling is a time for you to bring any worries and/or concerns you may have; no issues are too big or small. Together we can contemplate how these issues effect your life and how you might change the way you think about them; how you can live with them but not be affected by them.
I provide a safe and supportive space where you will to be able to explore your thoughts, feelings and express your fears or hidden desires without feeling judged or criticised.
Starting Psychotherapy & Counselling can feel daunting and finding the right therapist is an important first step so, take advantage of my offer of a free 20min initial consultation where you can ask any question you might have an make an informed decision that I am the right therapist for you.
Experience
I worked for many years as a teacher in a female prison, with women who suffered from bad mental health and trauma, and it was during those years that I became interested in working therapeutically with people.
I have volunteered for counselling services that offers help and support to people suffering from the effects of drug and alcohol misuse, as well as low-cost counselling organisation for women only services.
Presently as a therapist, I combine my private practice with a charity body, counselling women in prison.
What can I help you with
I believe that the key to good and productive therapy is in the relationship between client and the therapist, I therefore do not consider any issue my speciality, I am open to work with whatever you bring. Together we build a relationship of trust where any subject can be discussed and contemplated.
