I began my education in Psychology & Counselling in 2009 and bring over eight years’ working experience within mental health and wellbeing services, alongside a background supporting young people therapeutically with Autism & ADHD. I currently work in a senior role and have experience in one to one Counselling, Coaching, and facilitating a DBT Emotional Skills group. I support clients experiencing relationship difficulties who want to understand their situation, process what has happened, and seek guidance on taking their next step.
I have extensive experience working with individuals struggling with relationship issues and emotional difficulties. I can help with conflict, problems with communication, separation, divorce, loss, anger, and stress. I offer a supportive non-judgmental space to understand your emotions, make sense of any patterns, and find a healthier way to move forward.
If you are wondering whether counselling might help, an initial telephone consultation can help you decide your next steps. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful change therefore our first session is an opportunity to explore whether this feels like the right fit. Please feel free to send me a message to get the ball rolling!
