Compassionate and Creative Counselling
Welcome
Pleased to meet you today.
I am glad you dropped by.
Perhaps you are considering counselling?
It’s my pleasure to meet you… and however you are feeling right now, that’s welcome too.
I am a BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) registered Counsellor. This means I work together in partnership with clients to help explore and express difficult problems and emotions.
I work integratively, with a number of different theories and techniques, always with the deepest empathic understanding and respect for what you are going through. This can help make sense of what you have faced, where you find yourself, and where you want to go.
It’s not easy to think about coming to counselling, but here you’ve got my support, compassion and sincerity to explore this together.
You will find I place emphasis on relational teamwork and collaboration. I work in a relational way to create safety and belonging.
Someone who has your back, bringing solidity to help you do this wherever or whatever that pain, block, feeling, thought, emotion, stuckness, dread is.
I accept a limited number of clients to offer a truly empathic, relational and bespoke service, tailored to you.
I don’t know what exactly brought you here, but maybe clarifying exactly what the problem is, how those feelings are, expressing them somehow, can bring relief and release.
I'm a Certified Sandplay Therapist. I work in creative and play-based ways alongside talking therapy to attend to all parts of you, including preverbal and non-verbal experiences.
I recognise that sometimes words don’t quite capture things.
Many find that working with sand and other creative methods can be a gentle, grounding way to approach difficulties.
It can be intriguing and enlightening to understand relational patterns in new, embodied and kind ways. A wonderful way to remove shame and open the door to try acceptance and transformation.
It is entirely up to you.
I offer kind witnessing as we explore difficulties and make meaning at your pace, compassionately and with a sense of curiosity to your identities in the world.
It may help to know a little about me...
Prior to being a counsellor I worked with the very young right through to the very old with particular focus on trauma and “otherness,” being and feeling “different.”
From this I have been privileged to witness the pain, shame, trauma, grief, sorrow, loss, courage, despair… and smiles!
I have been humbled to welcome all these and make some kind of meaning together, always with the deepest respect, compassion and sincerity.
Beneath all the pain and tears, there is a wonderment to being you, perhaps together we can discover a sense of what that may be.
It would be my absolute pleasure to welcome you, too.
