“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” — Viktor Frankl
I’m an Integrative Counsellor and I think this way of working is brilliant for clients, because it means the therapist tailors the type of therapy to suit the individual.
Person-Centred and Existential philosophies are those I tend to draw on most. And having taught yoga for nearly ten years I also find a body-informed approach to mental health incredibly helpful.
I work to the high ethical standards of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and you can look me up as a Registered Member on their website.
In terms of my approach:
I’m compassionate, warm, open-minded and easy to talk to. I’ve spent many hours in the clients’ seat as well as the therapists’, so I know how valuable it is to have a safe, nurturing, non-judgemental space to work through life’s inevitable challenges.
So far, I’ve worked:
For a charity supporting survivors of sexual abuse, at a busy counselling agency supporting clients with a broad range of issues and in private practice.
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling, a yoga teaching diploma from the British Wheel of Yoga and a BA (hons) degree in Philosophy.
Fees
I offer a fifteen minute, no-obligation chat free of charge during which I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about how I work. If we both feel the fit is right, we’ll book in an initial counselling assessment.
