Warm, genuine and grounded, experienced counsellor working to help you gain clarity, feel calmer, more self-accepting, feel and cope better. I support clients globally via the wonders of online video, or in-person from my office in Sale, Greater Manchester.
About me and my practice
I'm a warm, genuine, grounded, experienced counsellor offering a safe, relaxed, confidential & non-judgemental space to work through your issues at your pace. I aim to ensure you feel safe and comfortable to talk about your issues, feel listened, supported, and accepted. I am passionate about helping others & it's always a great privilege to work with clients to help them gain clarity, feel calmer, more self-accepting and come to a calmer, more peaceful place.
I am a humanistic counsellor & work according to your need bringing in various techniques as needed, with your agreement, including mindfulness, journalling, CBT & EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).
My interest is in personal trauma and the impact this has on mental health & well-being. Personal trauma, small or big, past, present, one-off incidents or long-term/ongoing, can have immense detrimental impact on confidence, self-esteem, ability to think, cope & relax and lead to living with worry, anxiety, stress, low mood & depression. Trauma is held in our bodies & can manifest in inexplicable pain and also affect responses to seemingly normal people/situations and having a negative impact on family, friendships & colleagues leading to feeling lonely.
I am Registered Member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy); an Accredited Member of NCS (National Counselling Society) & an Accredited EFT Practitioner; fully insured; undertake regular supervision & peer support and regularly undertake opportunities for learning & ongoing professional development.
