Education and Learning Disabilities Counselling in Nelson

I am a Registered Member of the BACP, as an Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist in private practice since 2008 and in current accredited training as a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (CBT) at a Master's level since 2022. I am a highly experienced psychotherapist, developing my private practice by integrating structure and kindness within the model of therapy to fit the person.

I work with individuals and couples on a range of issues from trauma to life changes, using an integrated approach. I trained in humanistic and person-centered styles and I believe in working together. I pay attention to body processes and work creatively with the very different realms of feeling, thinking and doing/behaviour. I also work for a charity providing free counselling for people with Learning Disabilities and Autistic Spectrum Conditions (RespectForAll.org.uk) My practise is inclusive of different types, ages, sexualities, identities, abilities etc. All are welcome. I have some low cost slots, subject to availability .

It can be a daunting experience deciding to take the step into counselling, I aim to make the counselling space as comfortable as possible. As a therapist I provide a safe and confidential space where clients can open up and together we can explore the difficult feelings and emotions that may arise.  As an Integrative Psychotherapist I believe that not one type of therapy fits all, therefore bringing in techniques from different modalities of therapy, such as person-centred, CBT, Psychodynamic and Gestalt may provide clients with a greater therapeutic experience. 

Are you wondering how to help your family thrive? Is your child displaying behaviour you do not understand? Does your child have a diagnosis and you are confused as what to do next. In this modern world raising children is hard and I welcome families and children into my specially designed play room to help rebuild these connections and understandings of each other. During this pandemic children are struggling and I want to help them and you work through understanding of the world around them and help with anxiety that have arisen from the current situation.

Art therapy enabled me to process my own past traumas, it has given me the empathy and determination to help others to see more clearly what is going on for them in the present, often through gaining a better understanding of their past. I work mostly with adolescents (aged 12-25), and primary/junior school children. Helping them to process issues such as anxiety, bullying, stress, identity, behavioural issues, grief and bereavement.

The pandemic and lockdown saw a dramatic increase in social isolation and loneliness, but it also saw an increase in people reaching out for help from counselling and psychotherapy. As a joint-qualified counsellor and social worker, I have seen this change first-hand. It’s okay to recognise that you are feeling overwhelmed and need help; it’s okay to realise that you are stuck in a pattern of behaviour that you know is doing you no good; it’s okay to recognise that there’s something in your life that you want to change. As a Person-Centred therapist, my job is to work with you to create a space from which change is possible.

I am Qualified as an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I have robust supervision every month and have always been passionate about helping people. I previously worked in mental health and with learning disabilities. I have experience working with anxiety and depression, trauma, domestic abuse, loss and bereavement. I work with adults (age 16+) on an open ended basis, with the intention of allowing you to enhance your life and live it more fully. I am also trained in Couple's Therapy, working in an Integrative way to work on issues such as communication, loss, infidelity and more!
