Counsellor & Psychotherapist
Creative Arts Therapist
Hello & welcome to my site. I offer a professional, confidential counselling service, in an extremely relaxed, private and welcoming setting one to one, by telephone or Skype. I work with adults, young people, children and couples, families and couples. I am a Person Centered Counsellor using Carl Rogers model of Unconditional Positive Regard and Congruence however I also use other models and Creative Arts Therapy when I feel it encourages growth. I also offer this work to the local community, schools and private sector. I provide all equipment and tools used at no extra charge.
I offer a free consultation to discuss your needs, what you would like to achieve and your preferred service.
About Me
Training as a Counsellor & Creative Arts Therapist, for me was a natural progression, a calling you might say. As well as my therapy work I have 24 years of experience in working within a variety of settings and supporting people from all ages and backgrounds, such as the Children's Society, Sure-Start, Home-Start, Moving Forward (a teenage mentoring programme). Refugee support groups and various other organisations in a number of roles. I managed a Community Resource Centre and Family Community Centre. I worked as Family Liaison Officer for over a decade, highlighting the link between Emotional Well-being, development and learning. I took this to the wider community, offering free taster sessions and held a number of successful Therapeutic Community Events. I intend to keep offering these and will advertise them on my events page.
My broad experience and vast training which includes, the Steps to Excellence and Personal Success programme with the Pacific Institute, Certificate and Diploma in Welfare studies incorporating Psychology, Sociology, Management and more. Training in Transactional Analysis, Mindfulness as-well as being multi lingual, I feel gives me an advantage where I am able to easily identify and adapt therapies to a client’s individual needs.
If you're looking at my site you may be interested in starting a healing journey or want to work on a particular area of your life. It's an important decision hence, I now offer the first full hour consultation free of charge.
In being a people person I am able to build a rapport and trusting relationship with people from all ages and cultures in a non-judgmental way. I strongly believe that we all have the right to celebrate our uniqueness, be the best that we can be, achieving our goals and potential. By working through and breaking down any barriers using a range of tools, together we embark on a journey of enlightenment and empowerment and sometimes simply reaching acceptance for what is out of our control and making the best and working with what is.
If I can be a part of that journey, I am privileged and will be honoured. I find nothing more rewarding.
