It’s all about finding the right fit
The ‘therapeutic relationship’ is central to successful therapy.
For counselling to work as well as it can, it’s important to find a therapist that you that you feel safe with. The dynamic between client and counsellor will naturally develop over time, but I recommend everyone speaks to several different counsellors to find the right person for you.
My values and background
I welcome everyone.
Working with diversity is an underpinning value I hold, and I welcome people from all backgrounds. Age, gender, race, nationality, sexuality, personal beliefs or identity should never be a barrier to receiving any kind of support. Neurodivergent clients often find me, which is something I’m grateful for.
My clients feedback that they find me warm and approachable, and at times direct and kindly challenging.
In earlier life chapters I have worked as an artist and facilitator. These roles have interwoven and informed each other, and have all held my values and aims of providing empowerment, connection, fostering collective purpose and meaningful relationship at their core.
Areas I work in
I have experience in many areas, including:
anxiety
depression
autism
ADHD
trauma
relationship difficulties
attachment issues
bereavement and loss
family dynamics
identity
Training
My current training is level 6 Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling at Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling.
The course is well recognised for being deeply experiential, and has provided me with a rich and rounded perspective of myself a woman and as a practitioner.
I am a BACP registered member, and have insurance and legally compliant systems for GDPR and client confidentiality.
