      <image:title>Counselling - I believe that there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to counselling and therefore, I integrate elements from many forms of counselling within my sessions to create a bespoke service that meets the individual preferences and needs of each of my clients. The therapeutic relationship is different to any past relationship you have experienced. I cannot even begin to put into words, how powerful it can be to talk, reflect and explore with a trusted person outside of your social circle and family. My main priorities will always be making sure that you feel comfortable and heard.</image:title>

      <image:title>Counselling - Adolescents &amp; Young Adults</image:title>
      <image:caption>I began my career working as a counsellor in a number of high schools and have continued to work with this age group within my private practice. I am fully trained in all risk and safe guarding issues necessary when working with adolescents and young adults. One of my specialisms within this age group is working with clients who are suffering from identity issues or lack of self confidence (including all areas of body confidence). I work with clients to help them learn to accept themselves and also understand the significant impact of social media and peer pressure on these sensitive areas. Due to the age of the clients, the referrals normally come through a family member or outside agency which is a process that I am comfortable with and I will try to ensure that both the family and the client feel safe and comfortable with our sessions. If you would like to discuss these services in greater detail then I would be more than happy to arrange a consultation via phone on email.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Counselling - Some of the many reasons that people come to counselling are because they’re experiencing Anxiety Bereavement Stress Depression Low self-esteem Breakdown of relationships PTSD Mental or Physical Abuse Loss PND Identity or sexuality issues. You may be experiencing one or more of these issues, you may be experiencing something completely different or you may just want to get to know yourself better but counselling could be exactly what you’re looking for.</image:title>

      <image:title>Counselling - ‘Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life.’</image:title>

      <image:title>About me - I have done an extensive amount of research and work surrounding body confidence, self love and self-esteem and this has become a particular area of specialism and genuine passion for me. I work collaboratively with clients of all ages to explore their feelings, the root of their thoughts and to identify their goals. We then work together to combine person centered counselling with some more practical exercises to help combat the negative thinking patterns and improve the clients relationship with themselves. Body confidence and low self-esteem have fast become two of the most prevalent mental health issues that we are facing today. The significant rise of social media in recent years has had a debilitating affect on many peoples expectations, making them unrealistic and unachievable. If you take nothing else from reading my website today then please take this. You are worth more than you know.</image:title>

      <image:title>About me - Another area of my specialisms is supporting clients who are experiencing fertility difficulties, antenatal depression, post natal depression and all additional parenting stresses. These are areas of mental health that still have a significant stigma around them and clients often feel too ashamed to seek help. I offer non judgemental and fully confidential support to both men and women, at any stage in the process of starting and raising a family. I will work with you to ensure that you feel safe and comfortable within our sessions and to make counselling as accessible as possible for you. You are not alone.</image:title>

      <image:title>About me - My core counselling training was is in Person Centred Therapy however, I have since studied many different forms of therapy and now work to an integrative model, including elements of CBT, Gestalt, Mindfulness and ACT Therapy within my sessions. I started seeing clients in 2013 and since then, my career has taken me in many different directions. As well as seeing adult clients who were experiencing a vast range of mental health issues, I have gained a wealth of experience of working with adolescents and young adults. People start to heal the moment they feel heard.</image:title>
