"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom" - Anais Nin. Love this quote. Are you in a dark, painful place? Whether your struggling with self-confidence, self-esteem, grief, anxiety, stress, an abusive relationship or another difficult emotion, behaviour, experience , counselling can help you learn to trust yourself, let go and blossom into the person you were born to be.
About me and my practice
- I qualified as a Counsellor in 2001 from The University of Salford, and have been BACP Accredited since 2004. My therapeutic approach is Person-Centred, however over the years I have tapped into many other modalities which I bring to the session if beneficial to the client.
- For ten years I worked at North Staffs Mind in Hanley on their adult and children's team; specialised in parenting issues.
- I then worked as an independent counsellor for adults and couples from centres in Cheshire, accepting self-referrals plus referrals through a number of Employer Assisted Programmes, Insurance companies, Occupational Health and Human Resource Departments.
- I frequently worked as a Locum Counsellor for NHS IAPT plus Talking Therapies, as it was called at the time.
- With the onset of lockdown due Covid I worked remotely via video and telephone, and have now chosen to remain working in this way.
