EXPERIENCE
My approach to counselling is Integrative. This means that I use different approaches including CBT, which allows me to offer an individual service, after all we are all unique individuals and one size doesn’t fit all.
Here are some of the challenges that I have supported client’s with. This is not an exhaustive list, please contact me to see if I can support you with your current life challenges.
Anxiety, low mood, grief & loss, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, low self-esteem, low confidence, pregnancy/parenting challenges.
I also work within a local secondary school counselling students, facilitating workshops and offering reflective supervision sessions to teachers and support staff.
*Previous experience includes working within a community mental health service with those who have faced common emotional and mental wellness challenges including feelings of anxiety, stress, low mood/self esteem/confidence, grief & loss, overwhelm, trauma and childhood issues.
