Health and Wellness

I have been providing mental health support for a number of years in various capacities, through workplace Mental Health Support Worker, volunteering at a number of charities and charitable organisations, such as Victim Support, and Better Ways Recovery and being "that" person people gravitate to when in need of a listening ear and an empathic understanding of their immediate worries and concerns.

More recently I have developed my skills in counselling to provide a structured therapeutic service that compliments my person-centred approach in working with children, young adults and over 18's.

I am a fully qualified Therapeutic Counsellor with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and have worked with a number of clients over a range of emotional and mental wellness issues. I am able to support you.

In addition to my ability to provide a structured, supportive and comprehensive counselling service, I specialise in, and have the appropriate certifications and expertise in:

• Addictions - in particular drug and alcohol addiction counselling

• Child counselling

• Grief and Bereavement (including Loss)

• Bonding and Attachment issues

• Eating Disorders

• Highly Sensitive Clients

• Imposter Syndrome

• Phobia Cures

I also has invaluable experience working with clients with:

• Domestic Violence

• Divorce issues

• Relationship issues

• ADHD and Autism

Proficient in TA (Transactional Analysis), Psychodynamic Theory and Gestalt, I adopt these theories alongside my natural empathic person-centred service to support clients in their journey to awareness, and understanding. 

I am dedicated to supporting my clients in identifying and addressing old behaviours and patterns that help to cause chaos in their lives and find their authentic self with new coping strategies and choices that define their evolving into a happier lifestyle.

I want to work with you, in a safe, non-judgemental, non critical and all accepting manner, at your pace, providing the time and space for you to explore your world, your thoughts, your beliefs, your experiences, your behaviours, and to help you foster your own personal development and growth.
