Counselling in Skegness

There is no right or wrong reason for seeking counselling. It can help individuals learn, grow and understand. It can help people to make sense of circumstances or emotions that they are experiencing. It can offer an opportunity to explore and speak about things which simply aren’t talked about with anyone else. It can be helpful, informative, challenging and emotional. It can be whatever you need it to be. Our work together is driven by you; your experience, your preferences, your needs and your goals. I will seek to understand you and your experiences and what you hope to be different once our work together ends.

As a counsellor I work with adults struggling through life challenges and mental distress. I offer a confidential and safe space to explore the issues that the client is facing and ways to work towards a positive resolution. I want to work with clients who are hoping to improve their well-being, and are willing to engage in therapeutic methods to make that happen. I hope that by working with me clients are able to build self-awareness, confidence and learn techniques to help them face any challenges that may appear in their future.

It is amazing how much being listened to helps. Sometimes it is enough to merely let go of the words that have built up inside you over the years. We are all built differently, and a significant amount of my clients have been a little daunted by the thought of talking about themselves for this long, at least at the beginning. I have a patient and relaxed style that my clients tell me help them take things at their own pace. I know that the only ‘right’ way of ‘doing therapy’ is the way that makes you feel safe. No two of my clients are the same therefore I have adopted a style that provides bespoke sessions to each individual.

We all get stuck, lost and don't know which path to take at times. We often then get into patterns to help us manage, we stop doing things that make us anxious, we drink or eat more for example, but these behaviours don't always connect with the person we want to be or the life we want to live. I want to help you to get back to the things that matter to you-your values. Values are those things that you hand on heart know really matter to you, they are the core to the person you want to be or the life you want to lead.

Most people, at some point in their lives, experience emotional difficulties. This may be due to traumatic events, overload of stress, or issues stemming back to childhood. Talking through such difficulties can help to validate and make sense of your feelings, work out how to heal, and move on with positivity and meaning in your life.

You may be facing some personal difficulties or struggles that you wish could be resolved. These may be a persistent low mood, a recurrent anxiety, a recent or past traumatic experience, a lack of meaning or direction in life, an anger issue, the loss of a loved one, a relationship breakdown, a feeling of guilt or shame, a difficult life transition, or a more enduring and chronic mental health difficulty. You may want to seek ways of working through these personal challenges, of alleviating their burden, and of leading a more fulfilling life. Or you may be feeling the psychological and physical impact of long term health conditions.

Taking the first steps to seek out a counsellor can be a fearful time and we as therapists will not be the correct match for every individual. My aim would be to offer you counselling and support in a safe place, where we can work together and give you the opportunity to speak freely without fear of what others might think? When someone looks for a counsellor it is often because there is something happening in life they want to explore, this maybe: low self-worth, lacking in confidence, generally feeling of unhappiness, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, or other mental health concerns. We can work together at your pace.

In life we can become stuck, lost or we might just want to change something because it isn’t working anymore. I offer therapy as a safe space for you to come and talk to me about whatever it is you need to, without being judged or criticised. I am trained as an integrative therapist and draw from a range of different therapeutic theories, from attachment theory to trauma work and the affects trauma can have on the body. I’m aware that, sometimes, we can’t find the words to explain or express our feelings and so, if this happens, I will also offer you the option to work creatively, with art materials or sand trays.

I love to work with people who are trying to find their way: especially in young adulthood, after a major life change, or looking both backwards and forwards in mid-life. I am also very interested in working with people who want to make a social or environmental impact in their life. I think we're all trying to move forward in life: to do that it can help to think about where you are right now, to understand yourself and what you have to give the world.

Hello and welcome. I'm an online counsellor based in Essex working with clients aged 18+ nationwide via secure video call. Most of my clients are neurodivergent and I have experience of autism in my personal and professional life. I know how important it is for neurodivergent clients seeking therapy to find a counsellor who understands their condition. You will find me authentic, supportive, non-judgemental and with enough courage to challenge you if and when you are ready. In addition, I have worked in bereavement, with abusive relationships (including parental), anxiety, depression, trauma, perfectionism, and major losses in life.

When you attend counselling, I will aim to help you feel valued, heard and understood. I see each person as the expert in their own life and my aim is to support you to identify the difficulties you are experiencing and empower, facilitate and resource you to gain new perspectives and move forward in meaningful ways. Reconnecting with your strengths and increasing your ability to trust in yourself. I believe 'knowledge is power' and when we start to understand what led to a certain way of being, then we have the power to change it and move forward.

With over 20 years experience as a therapist, I work with a broad range of clients and issues, from teenagers to the retired, from confidence to historical bullying and pretty much everything in between. I believe that life experience plays a big role in my ability to help my clients and this is backed up by the responses that my clients give me. I love working with clients who are determined to change and who stay for the course, because I know that they are the ones who will see their lives improve.
