As a person-centred therapist I don’t see clients as a collection of symptoms, traumas and anxieties, nor do I see myself as having ‘all the answers’. Instead I believe my clients already hold these keys, but they can be lost, confused or alone. It is my job to work alongside them as another human being who deeply listens and cares. I came to counselling through my own struggles in life and I know how important it is to really connect with the person you’re sharing your journey with. My work with clients avoids judgment and shame; instead I seek to provide a warm and supportive space for us to sit alongside each other.
My focus is to hear you, to see you and to recognise your needs, whilst working with you as the expert in your own world. I have spent a great deal of time working with terminally ill clients, those with cancer at varying stages, and their carers. Such experiences throw our entire world into relief.
I appreciate how difficult it can be to take that first step, or the returning one, to counselling. I am an accredited member of the National Counselling Society, and a member of UKATA, EATA, ITAA and STAA. I hold a Diploma in Counselling with a specialism in Transactional Analysis and a Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
