My approach to counselling is influenced by the Person-Centred theory meaning I meet you where your at trying to gain an insight into your world and how this looks for you. By listening to your story, asking questions and trying to understand what is causing you concern at this point in your life. Through exploring your feelings, together we can look at how these may be impacting your life.  

I am a warm empathic Counsellor here to care, I take a gentle approach to my work and will be lead by you going at your pace. I will offer you a safe calm space to explore your issues and facilitate change.

I work via a secure online platform and over the telephone giving us great flexibility to match our schedules. Both are excellent mediums that I am qualified to work via.

If you feel working outside would benefit you I offer ‘Walk and Talk’ this allows us to take the counselling ‘outside’ This type of therapy is rewarding for people of all ages and mobility and all types of issues that you may have been experiencing. Walk and talk works in two main ways. One of these is being out in nature, the environment with its own beauty has a direct impact on us, and the second being the exercise element of it as it delivers more oxygen into our bodies and raises Serotonin levels in the brain.

The first session would take place over the telephone or online giving us a chance to connect and discuss an appropriate route. Details would then be emailed to you in a welcome pack in advance of the first session. All routes are fully risk assessed for our safety.
