I understand that life can be difficult and that we all develop ways of coping. Sometimes this can trip us up in the long term, or make life harder when things have changed. It can be hard to understand what is different and how (and if we want) to change, by ourselves. I believe that by offering you the space to explore what is distressing you, we can find ways forward that work for you at your own pace.
Everyone is different. I will not make assumptions about you, or what you are experiencing. Instead, I can offer the time and space to explore what is important to you. You know yourself best and I firmly believe that we all have the potential to grow and develop.
It is important to make sure that we are both comfortable working with each other so if you have any questions and to see if we would work well together, please do book a free 30 minute initial call.
What to Expect
Counselling can help you to gain a better understanding of yourself, how you are feeling and how you react to different experiences. It can also be a chance to unload some of the things that have been difficult for you. Talking to someone who has no agenda offers the opportunity to explore what you choose at your own pace.
I can offer you a calm and safe space to talk through your thoughts, feelings and experiences. I will listen to you and support you. I won’t judge you or tell you what to do, and firmly believe that you are the expert on yourself. You know yourself best. My role is to work with you at whatever pace you set, and give you the space to find your own solutions and ways forward.
Being in counselling can feel like a relief as you get to unload. At other times, as you explore painful feelings, it can feel difficult and requires hard work to stick at; sometimes you may even feel both. Either way, I strongly believe that counselling can help and that together we can find ways forward that work for you.
I offer 1:1 supervision online for counsellors, therapists and other wellbeing professionals.
My philosophy of supervision is grounded in Roger's theory of personality and influenced by pluralistic therapy, feminist theory and Spinelli's existential approach. I trust you as the professional and see my role as supporting you in your practice and professional development.
If you are looking for a warm and supportive supervisor who will encourage you to develop in your practice, get in touch for a free chat. It'd be great to meet you.
Sessions cost £75/hour. I offer 45, 60 & 90 min sessions.
