I am a caring, patient, and warm person and offer a safe, non-judgmental, accepting environment, where you can feel at ease and discuss what brings you to counselling. . Whether it is for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, OCD, low self-esteem, bereavement, relationships or cross-cultural issues. Having lived in the Far East and EU, I bring a lived understanding of the challenges some clients face negotiating different cultures, values and beliefs. I am an experienced BACP-accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist using an integrative approach, drawing on various models to best serve the unique person you are.
My specialty is overcoming setback/loss ( e.g. relationship, abuse, bereavement, health, dreams..) To be more self-compassionate and let go of negative emotions that hold you back, and to discover and live (again) from the values you hold dear. I offer both Individual and Couples Counselling.
It takes courage to seek help from a stranger, especially if you've never had counselling before. My free 20 minute initial consultation allows us to get to know each other a little, understand what brings you to counselling, and decide if we would like work together. Absolutely without obligation - you're free to try another counsellor if desired.
