Thank you for taking a look at this website and the work that I do. I am a qualified level 5 counsellor and have worked with a charity for the past 5 years. I have undertaken specific training to be able to perform counselling online, whether over the telephone or utilising an online video call. I have experience in counselling all age groups and clients with a range of personal challenges that they have managed to overcome.
I have specific training in counselling children and young people, as their needs can be more complex and require a different skill set to explore their feelings and emotions in a way that enables them to feel heard and understood. These skills transfer perfectly when working with older age groups as it can be seen that clients can see improvements from early on in the counselling journey.
I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to ensure that we can work cooperatively and to gauge whether I am the right counsellor for your individual needs. This is imperative as it allows for the best start to our counselling journey. Following this phone call, we both sign a counselling agreement that details all aspects of out discussion. If it is decided that I am the right counsellor for you we can then go on to arrange our first session.
Areas that I work with include; anxiety, low-mood, family, relationships, self-esteem, friendships, school, bullying, ADHD, anger management, autism, behavioural issues, depression, divorce, infidelity, self-harming, stress, and trauma.
However, this is not an exhaustive list and if your challenges are not listed here, get in contact and we can find a solution together.
I have found that remote counselling has been the most accessible form of counselling, whether over the telephone or on an online video call. We can work together in a safe, non-judgmental space where you are free to be who you are and we can go on this journey together. Ideally, this would be in a space where you cannot be overheard or disturbed for the duration of the session. Remote counselling is ideal if you do not want to travel, as it can take place anywhere as long as there is access.
Walk-and-Talk may interest you if you are in need of a more face-to-face approach. We can talk while taking a casual walk in an idyllic area, whilst working together to overcome your personal challenges. It is proven that being in nature has benefits to an individual's mood and this may benefit you.
