I am a qualified and insured counsellor. I work through Ripples Wellbeing on Mondays, both online and in person.
I use a pluralistic model. In essence what this means is that I am able to draw on a variety of approaches and methods to tailor sessions to each client’s individual needs. These include CBT techniques to understand cognitions and behaviours and psychodynamic approaches to explore past events and internalised beliefs all with a person-centred foundation.
I aim to create a safe, supportive space where we can explore and work together on whatever you choose. My work is non-directive and you will never hear me tell you what to do. Instead, through our work together, I aim to help enable you to make choices for your own positive growth.
If you choose to begin counselling with me, we will agree on a goal, an area to explore, and work together. I will guide sessions, suggesting methods and tools but it is always your choice what we work on and in what way. I offer both short- and long-term therapy with regular reviews for longer work.
