Key Workers Counselling

You may be seeking therapy because you feel like you are in crisis and/or you cannot cope. Or perhaps you're seeking therapy as a consequence of a specific long-term problem or childhood trauma. Or maybe you have a general sense of wanting to understand yourself and grow. I provide a confidential space where I will listen to you without judgement, and support you as we work through any challenges from the past and/or in the present, together. I have both in-person (Sheffield city centre) and online/telephone availability.

I have experience of short and long-term counselling across a wide range of issues, ages and backgrounds. This includes working with issues that involve a racial, sexual and LGBTQ+ focus.

I worked for five years in an IAPT Centre providing NHS funded psychotherapeutic counselling to adults in West London, and I now run a successful private practice. Consequently, I have experience of working with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, bereavement/loss, low self-esteem, sexuality, work-related issues, anger management and trauma.

I am an accredited member of the BACP and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). I am qualified in both integrative therapeutic counselling and CBT. I am also qualified in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD) which is an evidenced based approach for working with depression that is used by the NHS. I am a certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP) and I am able to draw upon various techniques to work with adverse childhood experience and PTSD.
I offer integrative talking therapy in order to provide the necessary conditions for healing, personal development and growth. I also offer trauma focussed therapy, as well as CBT which will help you to become your own therapist, by learning how to recognise and change your own automatic thoughts and behaviours.
