It is rare to find someone who sincerely and genuinely cares, accepts us without judgement, or has true understanding empathy for us. People often tell us how we should feel or how they think we should deal with our situation, not theirs. Sometimes even with conditions, otherwise we face consequences. Thinking of what benefits them, not us. Looking at things from their perspective, not ours. This can lead to pressure to handle things in a way we do not want to and being in a place we do not want to be. Living an unhappy unfilled life where our feelings are ignored and unmet. Resulting in being in a very lonely isolated place.
I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor. I will accept you for who you are with no judgement, genuinely care for and empathise with you. I will move at a pace you are comfortable with to process how you feel and what you're going through without telling you what to do. To help support you to grow into your authentic self where you learn to live and be you.
I have always been naturally empathic, caring and non judgemental to many people of different backgrounds, experiencing all kinds of issues. Many situations where others did not care, understand or support them. I channelled this into becoming a counsellor. Please reach out to me for a chat to see if you would feel comfortable with me as your counsellor.

My approach is mainly person centred. We will start off by getting a background of why you have come for counselling. I recommend new clients to have at least 6 weekly sessions to build rapport with an aim to make some progress. It is entirely up to you how many sessions you have. We will work with how you feel, what you want from sessions, where you want to go and be, and work at your pace.
