Life can be difficult and painful at times and we could all benefit from a safe space to make sense of and process difficult emotions, develop our resilience and coping strategies. I am a qualified CBT Counsellor and predominantly work with clients using a CBT based approach but can also call upon skills and experience I have gained through additional training in clinical hypnotherapy, life coaching and person-centred counselling.
My training, skills and experience enables me to offer clients a number of different routes into exploring their issues and to identify solutions that can help them. I can help with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma and low self esteem. I have considerable experience working with clients suffering from health anxiety and phobias.
Whilst our problems can often feel overwhelming and affect every aspect of our lives, the wonderful thing about counselling is that not only does it help to tackle immediate sources of distress, the positive effects can create ripple effects across different aspects of our lives. I look forward to meeting you and working with you.
