Counselling

We all face difficulties and challenges as we navigate different seasons in our lives. Through counselling and coaching you can develop a greater sense of clarity, freedom and direction.

Whether you are an individual or a couple feeling stuck, experiencing challenges, anxiety, stress or depression, I can offer support. As a fully qualified integrative Counsellor and Coach (MBACP), I work with my clients to process difficult feelings and experiences, build resilience and self-awareness and identify a positive way forward.

Integrative Counsellor & Coach

My style and approach

— Our relationship is an essential component of our work, so each session is designed to be supportive, collaborative, non-judgemental and to flow at a pace that’s comfortable for you. Each session is designed to be a space to be ‘still and to know’ and to learn to be a human-being rather than human-doer.

—I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor and Coach which means I draw on a variety of therapeutic and coaching approaches to support the unique needs of my client – because one size doesn’t fit all. I am trained in Person Centred, Psychodynamic, CBT, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, Solution Focused and Existential therapy. My coaching expertise means in addition to the counselling, I am able to support clients to set clear goals and develop tools and techniques to move forward and grow.

— I’ve come to realise, after many years of working in senior positions and high pressure environments, that it is easy to get lost in the ‘doing’ and completely miss out on ‘being’ present in the moment and truly enjoying life. This is why our sessions together will focus on supporting you to live fully.

Focused. Insightful. Transforming.

Together we can explore…

In addition to working across a broad range of challenges and difficulties such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, loss & bereavement, family conflict etc., I also specialise in the areas below.

  1. Relationship and couple therapy: I support couples who are dating, engage and married to rebuild intimacy and trust; develop their ability to communicate honestly and openly; to resolve conflict in a constructive way and create fun in their relationship.

  2. ​Friendship therapy: I support friends in a platonic relationship to rebuild trust, resolve past hurts and create healthy boundaries.
    Pregnancy loss therapy: I support individuals and couples to work through the experience of pregnancy loss (miscarriage and abortion) and to come to a place of healing.

  3. Racial trauma: I support Black and minority ethnic clients navigate through racial trauma and experiences of discrimination at work and in their personal lives.

  4. Christian faith: I work with clients who are looking for a therapist that understands the Christian faith and lived experience. I also partner with churches to train staff teams and provide consultation on care and counselling for members.

  5. Career, leadership and executive coaching: I work with individuals and organisations across different sectors to support with leadership development, organisational culture, team performance and diversity & inclusion.

Focused. Insightful. Transforming.
