Counselling Experience
My passion for Psychotherapy emerged working in a variety of healthcare settings as a Nursing Technician. My extensive experience in the caring profession has helped me understand people’s problems more deeply.
I am a very empathetic and compassionate Psychotherapist dedicated to helping distressed adults with their problems providing them with a safe, confidential and trustworthy environment. I accompany individual adults on their therapeutic journey, and I help them explore and overcome any difficulty they may be experiencing in their lives. I help them build inner strength, gain trust and confidence in making their own decisions which will enable them to live a happier and healthier life.
I have an interest in multicultural counselling, respecting and understanding diversity in clients who may bring different views, beliefs and values.
I attend supervision regularly and I continue to enhance my knowledge and skills through CPD. Among my skills and qualifications are:
