About me
I am a qualified and experienced counsellor / psychotherapist working online, both short and long-term, with individuals and couples.
I have over 15 years of experience working in different organisations, schools, NHS inpatient and outpatient services and private practice. I started my career working with adolescents diagnosed with Autism. I have personal lived experience of Autism. I use a combination of therapies including Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Transactional Analysis Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Ways of Working
I work focusing on the here and now and offer a warm, non-judgmental, empathic approach. We can work together at your own pace to think about how you can deal with the issues you are facing differently and help you understand what is happening, why it is happening and the changes you could make. I work primarily using transactional analysis, one of the most accessible types of counselling, offering a space to promote personal growth and change.
I have a toolbox of techniques for helping people manage anxiety, stress, motivation and low mood.
