cinder
/ˈsɪndə/
noun-
The small, partly burnt essence of a thing that's stopped giving off flames but still has the means of re-ignition within it.
I chose this name because I am a strong believer in your infallible potential to endure & survive, to return from something, changed, but at peace, able to take positive, progressive steps when able & to receive understanding and empathetic counsel without pressure or presumption when faced with setbacks or when improvement feels impossible or even regressive. I aim to create a space free of judgement & presumption, providing an opportunity to be seen as who you genuinely are or can be.
I aim to create a therapeutic & secure space to safely explore your past, current situation & future ambitions. Whether you're looking for goal orientated results or warm & safe place to explore yourself with supportive guidance, gaining a deeper sense of self-acceptance/understanding. I'm here to serve as a compassionate and caring witness to your growth.
I am a BACP registered Psychotherapist with an MSc in person-centred counselling. I also draw from many approaches to create an effective & unique theraputic practice.
I specialise in working with teens & adolescents, LGBTQ individuals, individuals diagnosed/identifying with neurodiversity, survivors of trauma, & those struggling with anxiety or depression.
