Do you find it difficult to say no and often take on responsibility for others whilst neglecting yourself? Do you struggle with low self- esteem and self-criticism? If you find it hard to say no to others, find yourself often in the role of mediator or rescuer, but have difficulty asking for help or finding support for yourself, you may lack the boundaries you need to take care of yourself. If this sounds like you, I may be able to help.
About me and my practice
My initial training was focused on the psychodynamic approach, which looks on how the past can influence the present, but I incorporate other approaches where they are most beneficial to clients as individuals.
I offer online and telephone counselling sessions to individual adults. You will be listened to, accepted and respected regardless of what issues you bring. I will not judge you or tell you what to do but will support you to work through any difficulties you may be experiencing and make any decisions that you feel are right for you. I provide a calm, safe space, in which you can feel open to exploring what is going on with you and how you are feeling.
I can provide support to process and understand emotions and experiences that may be difficult or painful, whilst helping you feel contained, so that you don't feel overwhelmed. I can help you develop self-compassion and to let go of feelings of self-blame and low self-esteem.
Experience
I am committed to professional development and undertake continual learning and training as a counsellor. I also work as a Specialist Mentor for Mental Health with students in higher education
I have experience of working with presenting issues including trauma, abuse, anxiety, neurodivergence, chronic illness and depression.
