ABOUT ME

I would just like to tell you a bit about myself, my life and my journey into counselling.

​I worked as a secretary in the City of London for some of the big Investment Banks for around fifteen years but I found it unfulfilling. In 2004 I went on maternity leave and also moved to Kent. After this I retrained as a Family Support Practitioner where I worked in a school supporting families and primary age children with emotional and practical issues which I loved and felt very fulfilled. In this role I supported children therapeutically which I found rewarding and decided to enrol on a part-time level 2 introduction to counselling course. I have to say that this course changed my life. During this course we did a lot of personal development exercises, along with working in triads (small groupwork where we listen to each others life stories) the triads I found were very exposing for me emotionally but gradually over the year I was learning about counselling skills and applying them in the triads. The more aware I became of my own subconscious feelings and emotions the more my 'walls' started to crumble away. By the end of level 2 I was hooked and wanting more. From there I went onto level 3 and then onto level 4 Diploma. This path was no means an easy path to take but finally in November 2024, I received my Diploma certificate and became a Qualified Therapeutic Integrative Counsellor. 

HEALING SPACE 

The style of counselling I work with is called integrative.  This involves using a range of  counselling techniques, which are tailored to suit the need of each client, as I see each person as being unique I tailor the work I do to each person and their need.  I also work in a person centred way where the client is always at the heart of the therapy and go at their pace, working collaboratively together. I have worked with clients from all backgrounds in a non judgmental way, with many presenting issues. Therapy can be long or short the client dictates the amount of sessions they feel they need.  My role of counsellor is to support and guide clients through these sessions.  It is really important to have a introductory call to see if I am a right fit for you, meaning to see if we get along and can go forward together.  If you feel you need to talk to someone please reach out.
