Choosing the right counsellor is essential in helping you move forwards through any issues that are affecting you and preventing you from living the life you want to. I am a highly trained and experienced humanistic counsellor. I was originally trained in person-centred counselling but over the years have studied dialectical behaviour therapy, integrative approaches, solution focused therapy, and most recently I qualified as a EMDR therapist working with trauma. I worked at a university in London for many years helping students and staff navigate through their issues but have also worked for a bereavement charity and a cancer hospice in West London.
Counselling can be helpful with a wide range of emotional issues, and I hope to help you get through them in a self-empowering way, building resilience and self-reflection that once cultivated, will benefit you long after your
counselling ends. No two counselling experiences are ever the same, we may work together for only a short time, or our work together may go on for much longer. It is important to me that I am ethically always meeting your needs and hitting the goals that you need to through our sessions. My hope is to help guide you in your journey without judgment, but you are the expert of your own life.
Many people will feel nervous about seeing a counsellor, and this is understandable. It takes a lot of courage to speak about our issues, but just like our physical need for food, water and shelter, we also have emotional needs too that need attention. Counselling is a personal and transformative experience, and I want to make it as accessible and comfortable for you as possible.
