In the chaotic world that we live in, at times we can feel stressed, anxious or overwhelmed. It’s important that we take time to pause, reflect and make sense of our emotions and experiences.
Coming to counselling can feel daunting but can be the most important steps that you take towards making a change.
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and a registered member MBACP of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP.) Using my training within an integrative approach means that I am able to tailor my approach to best suit your needs. This includes using Person centred, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT.)
I can offer you a safe, confidential and non-judgemental,space where together we can explore anything that may be troubling you. Life’s challenges can be explored within a supportive and calm environment. As a member of the BACP I commit to working within their ethical framework. Their code of ethics can be found at www.bacp.co.uk. I also ensure that I continue to develop as a professional, in a world that is ever changing.
In life we can experience traumatic, and difficult times. We can lose our focus, have difficulties within relationships and can lose our sense of self. Counselling can support you to rediscover who you are, explore relationships and more. Taking the steps to come to counselling means taking the steps to being exactly who you want to be. This will be a journey that we take together.
I am based in King’s Lynn and can offer short term and long term counselling that can be face to face, through online video call, or telephone call.
Coming to counselling is both a process and a journey that can change your life. Counselling is a talking therapy that can help you to deal with emotional issues. Research shows that the most probable factor that can determine a successful outcome to therapy is the relationship between the client and therapist.
Please contact me to arrange your first session in which we will assess if we can work together to create the change that you want for yourself. Counselling will take place on a regular day and time that we agree and through the counselling medium that is chosen.
I have a vast amount of experience working with children and adults in a variety of settings. This includes supporting adults with mental health problems, learning disabilities, autism and limited verbal skills. I have a Level 7 Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and work within an Integrative approach. I use several theories where appropriate because I believe that we are all unique individuals. Therefore more than one theory can best suit someone when guiding them within the therapeutic process to achieving change or to better understanding themselves.
As part of my training I began a voluntary placement with MIND. This is something that I continued once becoming a qualified Counsellor as I valued the importance of MIND as an organisation and the relationships that I had built with my clients. I have worked with many clients dealing with a variety of issues and clients that have mental health problems.
I work with clients dealing with various issues such as:
Anxiety
Depression
Bereavement
Anger
Relationships
Stress
Trauma
Sexuality
There are more areas and issues that can be explored within counselling. I will facilitate a safe space and help you to identify anything that is causing you upset or distress. A counsellor can explore issues with you and find ways to cope with the situation. This can include changing behaviours that contribute to a problem or to find a way to deal with a situation that may be beyond your control. Counselling can help you to take control of your own life and you will be accepted for who you are. You can express your feelings and come to terms with past or new experiences.
Face to face sessions are held on Fridays at St Ann’s house. Appointment times are to be agreed.
Online Video call and Telephone sessions are available other weekdays. Day and time to be agreed.
