My Experience, Therapeutic Approach and Qualifications
rese
About me and the way might work with you
Working in collaboration with you, I hope in counselling to offer you a safe and non judgemental space where I hope that you will feel able to unpack and process your emotions and also discover some of the underlying causes to your problems and concerns. Sessions with me are friendly, open, holistic and centred on the individual experiences of my clients. As a person centred therapist I will work with you at a pace that you feel comfortable with on the parts and aspects of your life that you choose to bring to each therapy session.
I began counselling clients as a student counsellor from 2013 and qualified as a counsellor in 2016. As a therapist I have gained significant experience counselling in a variety of therapeutic settings including Rape Crisis (2013-2016) and Mind (2015-2017). In addition to my own counselling practice, I currently work with several national companies providing Employee Assistance counselling and also provide a specialist mental health mentor service for students at a variety of universities. I have been blessed to work with so many people who have decided that the time is right to make changes in their lives and feel very privileged to do the work I do.
I have experience of working on short term and long term counselling contracts with both young people (over the age of 18) and adults. Within my weekly counselling practice clients bring to counselling a variety of issues including:
This is not an exhaustive list, but rather a guide. Please do feel free to telephone me for a no obligation chat about the therapy and how we might work with your particular presenting concern. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have and welcome your call.
Sessions are available online (via Webcam and Video Link) and over the telephone
I provide sessions to clients via the telephone or via webcam video link. An online or telephone counselling session can be just as effective as a face to face counselling session for many clients but has the added convenience that clients can access their session from the comfort of their home or office at a time that is suitable for them. Sessions are available for clients early morning (for those starting work early or returning from a night shift) during the day or in the evening. Accessing the counselling session from a place that feels comfortable and familiar can I believe aid the therapeutic process of counselling. Please give me a call to talk more about your requirements and if you feel comfortable talking with me we can go ahead and arrange an initial session.
Qualifications
Further to obtaining my original practice Diploma qualification in Therapeutic Counselling, I went on to study and obtain a Masters Research degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy practice where I specialised in Older Adult counselling engagement.
I have additionally received specialist training in online counselling which is recognised by ACTO the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online. As a counsellor I am registered with the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and hold registration with NCS (The National Counselling Society). I work within the BACP and NCS ethical frameworks and fully abide by the associations ethical and professional codes of practice. As such I undertake regular clinical supervision and also participate in a number of different courses and workshops throughout the year as part of my commitment to both my clients and my professional registrations.
As a trained eco therapeutic coach, I can offer therapeutic client sessions that take place outside the therapy room, this form of therapeutic work can be really freeing for clients who are comfortable outdoors and find traditional forms of talking therapy restricting. For more information on how that works please visit the eco therapy pages on this site.
