ABOUT
ABOUT
I am a MBACP registered counsellor, committed to the highest standards of proficient, professional and ethical practice for those in my care.
With many years’ experience working with adults, older adults, children, couples, families, organisations and employee assistance programs, I now offer the following services from either my home office in Saffron Walden, or via telephone or zoom/messenger or video call.
Group Emotional Support Workshops
My specialisations:
Bereavement, Depression, Trauma, Relationship issues, Bullying, Low-mood, Suicide within families, Disabilities, Discrimination within society, Pet Bereavement, Anxiety and Stress related issues.
MY APPROACH
As an integrative counsellor, working within the Humanistic, CBT and Psychodynamic approaches, I always work with what you bring. This is your journey and I am there to walk side by side with you, and not guide you in any way.
My approach will be tailored to your specific needs. Sometimes talking therapy becomes difficult, so I use many different approaches to allow you to express your feelings and emotions. Occasionally I may use art therapy, play therapy, visualizing the words into objects and stone therapy, as needed.
TAKING THE FIRST STEP
Sometimes the hardest part of your counselling journey is to take the first steps of getting in contact with a counsellor.
I provide a free 50-minute intake session which gives you the space to talk about your reason for coming to counselling. This will also provide an opportunity for us both to assess whether we can build a rapport and work together, enabling a successful therapeutic relationship.
It is now time to believe in yourself, believe in the process and start your healing.
MY ONGOING PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Undertaking regular CPD Workshops/Training keeps me up to date with new developments in the world of counselling.
I abide by my professional governing body, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
I am also regularly checked by my external supervisor to what CPD WORKSHOPS I have attended, or are intending on attending.
