I have experience supporting individuals through bereavement, domestic abuse and trauma. It can feel lonely feeling the effects of these experiences and you might feel that you have no-one that you can talk to, I want to understand what it is that you are going through and then help you to find ways of coping and discover who you are now. I provide a space, free from judgement, where I hope to help you increase your self-awareness, understanding of self, and support you, while you achieve what it is that has brought you to counselling.
I can support you in voicing your inner thoughts, naming your feelings, fears and aspirations and help you to process these feeling and experiences. I will help you to recognise the symptoms of your experiences and support you to become more self aware and provide techniques or resources that may help you.
I am happy to discuss further my experience, the way I work and how I may help you and offer a free 15minute telephone appointment to discuss what it is that you are seeking from therapy and give you the opportunity to ask me questions to help you decide if I am the right fit for you.

When working with trauma I will first support you in recognising how your body reacts to certain situations or triggers and then teach you ways to ground and calm yourself in those situations to keep you safe. It is not necessary for you to re-live or tell me specific details of your trauma for me to help, we will instead treat the symptoms of trauma that you are experiencing.

I will encourage you to speak the thoughts that come to mind, with periods of silence to allow you to process and uncover your unconscious thoughts which we can then explore. We will look at how your childhood and past experiences have impacted on the person that you are and I will help you to increase your self awareness. I may use creative processes to assist with this such as buttons and cards.
