'People are just as wonderful as sunsets if I can let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a little on the right hand corner, and put a bit more purple along the base, and use a little more pink in the cloud color." I don't do that. I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch it with awe as it unfolds.' - Carl Rogers
Get To Know Me
Who am I?
I am an individual like you, and I am different. I have lived and healed through my own experiences: I have been where you are, and I have been through my own personal therapeutic journey.
I began my Counselling training in 2003 and qualified in 2007 by completing the Level 4 Diploma. I have continued to study throughout my career and am currently a PhD student in counselling and psychotherapy.
My specialities (but not exclusively) are:
Neurodiversity. Autism. ADHD. AuDHD
Suicidal ideation and Self-injury
Eating disorders
Gender identity and sexuality
Abuse. Including historical.
Confidence and self-esteem
Within our first telephone contact, we will explore what you would like to gain from counselling and whether we feel we are a good fit for each other.
I hold an enhanced DBS and safeguarding training, which have been continuously updated.
'The kind of caring that the client-centered therapist desires to achieve is a gullible caring, in which clients are accepted as they say they are, not with a lurking suspicion in the therapist's mind that they may, in fact, be otherwise. This attitude is not stupidity on the therapist's part; it is the kind of attitude that is most likely to lead to trust, to further self-exploration, and to the correction of false statements as trust deepens.' - Carl Rogers
