ABOUT ME
Caring. Professional. Non-judgemental. Confidential.
After many years working in the corporate world, and more recently as a nutritional therapist, I trained as a Counsellor because I strongly believe in the significant value, and potential for growth and change, that counselling can bring.
I work with clients using sensitive inquiry, thoughtful perception and a genuine desire to understand the challenges or blocks in their life. I am receptive to seeing people beyond how they ostensibly may appear - and aware that they may be suffering in ways which aren't evident at all.
I offer my honesty, integrity and care for you on your journey. I endeavour to create an atmosphere of ease, confidentiality and respect where you feel heard and able to express yourself.
I am keen to work with individuals who are experiencing distress or difficulty, wherever that may come from. I have experience of working with many issues including (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, low self-esteem, low self-worth and relationship problems.
I have previous experience of working as a counsellor for an Oxford-based charity, supporting women who have experienced sexual abuse and violence.
I am due to commence my Masters in Counselling & Psychotherapy in 2024.
