I am a trained BACP counsellor and coach, gaining my qualifications at the University of East London and Esher College. I came to counselling from a career in arts administration and following my own experiences of growth, change and counselling. I have volunteered for many years with a mental health charity and champion the importance of talking through our feelings and being able to come to an understanding of ourselves in order to live a joyful and fulfilling life. I continue to learn about myself through my work as a counsellor and would like to work with you to help you understand yourself. I have worked with a wide range of clients and look forward to meeting you where you are today.
I work from a person-centred perspective, which means we talk about what is most important to you. Once we have a foundation of trust, we can look at the way you would like to work. I am trained in integrative counselling which means we can draw on different approaches to explore what you bring to the sessions. This could be looking into the past, looking at ways of thinking and behaving or looking forward to what you want to do differently. Ultimately, we work towards your goals and the change or movement you would like to see in your life.
