Life can sometimes feel overwhelming and deciding you want to take the step into counselling is brave but may also feel daunting.
I can provide a safe, caring and non-judgmental space to explore your feelings and experiences alongside you. Each client is unique and therefore I adapt my approaches to suit you and your needs.
I am with you on your journey and can support you to reach your goals.

Experience
My previous role as a teacher means I do have a particular understanding of work related stress, anxiety and burn out. I have also worked with children and young people exploring their feelings and am experienced with working with people with additional needs such as Autism.
My role at Survive Abuse Counselling has given me the opportunity to work with a range of client issues and gain an extensive amount of experience.

What to expect
I am a person centred therapist but I will adapt my skills by using other therapy strategies depending on your needs and where we might go on our journey.
Therapy might not always be easy but I am here to support you in an empathic, caring and non-judgmental way. I may gently challenge you but will always be led by you.
Once you make contact I can offer a brief phone call where you can ask any questions and explain a little about what brings you to therapy. We can then find a suitable appointment for you if you wish to proceed. I will then text you all the details.
It is important that you connect with me and feel that I am the right therapist for you. The first session is a chance for you to paint a picture of your life, your feelings and some of the challenges you might be experiencing. This enables me to understand and gain insight into your life and gives us the space to build a trusting relationship where you feel able to open up.
In the following sessions we will unpick your feelings and break it down further and explore some of the reasons you might be feeling the way you are. I like to work on a fortnightly basis, but weekly sessions are available online, on the telephone or in person from a small inviting room in Crewe.
Please feel free to get in touch to begin your journey. Therapy can be a very rewarding experience.
