About me and my practice
My career started in Human Resources, working with individuals and groups to resolve personal and workplace problems through mediation, coaching and counselling. It was during this time that I realised two things: 1) that I enjoyed helping people overcome their individual problems and 2) that I was really good at it.
I then put all that experience to good use by training in a range of therapeutic approaches including Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Person-Centred Therapy.
By bringing together my counselling skills, HR expertise, a non-judgemental approach and an empathic awareness of others, I can offer an approach thats tailored to my clients specific needs.
What am I like to work with? Im warm, down to earth and approachable and can work with a range of issues including, anxiety, depression, addictions, phobias, abuse, eating issues, emotional difficulties, self-esteem, confidence, relationship difficulties, relaxation and stress.
Experience
I work with individuals, couples and young people. My approaches include an eclectic approach using CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Person Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Psychodynamic and Solution Focused Therapy.
