What I can Offer

With my professional training and experience I am able to work with clients on their personal and emotional items, including depression , suicidal tendencies and abuse. Counselling is about talking to someone who understands what your needs are and what can help. Because everyone is different, your session will be directed at reaching your personal goals as the discussions in counselling are aimed at helping You understand what is going on for You and what would help You best. 

🌿 My Approach

My training is based in Humanistic, Person-Centred, and Existential methodologies, expanded with trauma-informed practice. This approach respects your individuality and supports you in finding your own meanings, choices, and solutions.

Existential psychotherapy explores inner conflicts when facing life’s challenges and emphasises the choices you have.

Talking openly can illuminate distortions and confusion often associated with depression. Together, we can develop understanding and practical strategies to make moving forward clearer and easier.

Flexible and integrative approaches include:

• Psychoeducation

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Sensorimotor Therapy

• EMDR

• Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR)

• Art Therapy

✨ What You Bring

You only need to bring yourself, however clear or unclear things may feel. There are no hard rules.

Everyone faces difficulties at some point—regardless of age, gender, sexuality, or background. You do not have to face them alone.

I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups.

Examples of areas I support:

• Relationships: conflict, jealousy, abuse, anger, family/friends/colleagues

• Confidence & self-worth: fear of failure, self-criticism, feeling judged

• Depression: sadness, loneliness, emptiness, isolation, HIV-related concerns, suicidal thoughts

• Destructive behaviours: eating disorders, self-harm, substance misuse, abusive relationships, debt

• Stress & overload: exams, work pressures, anxiety, panic attacks

• Bereavement: loss, anger, sadness, depression, feeling stuck

🛋 Counselling

What to Expect

Your first session usually involves an assessment, giving you the opportunity to:

• Ask questions about the counselling process

• Explore what has brought you to counselling

• Clarify what you hope to gain

• Decide if working together feels right

Subsequent sessions are typically weekly, with reviews every six weeks. Sessions provide a safe, non-judgemental space to share fears, reflect, and work toward positive change. Open-ended work is available where appropriate.

🧩 Supervision

Supervision is a safe, professional forum to reflect on all aspects of clinical work. It enhances client safety, professional standards, and therapist growth.

What to Expect

• Reflective, supportive environment to explore client work

• Constructive challenge to deepen insight and expand skills

• Space to process complex situations, ethical dilemmas, and personal impact

Supervision is essential for ethical practice and ongoing development, grounded in the BACP Code of Ethics.

• Building confidence in complex or chronic cases
