About
My aim is to empower you, with tools for you to gain confidence and independence in a crisis, to help you discover your potential; to support you to overcome your personal obstacles and issues; to improve your relationships. My job is to help you to achieve confidence in yourself and to show you how you can flourish and how you can be in control of your feelings and consequently in control of your life. I do not use only a specific approach. On the other hand, I combine different ones according to your needs, as I believe each person has their own individuality. I recognise the value of you as a unique person, so your session will be tailored to a unique approach to suit your needs, with base on the knowledge and experience I have acquired.
I have a Diploma in Specialist Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and a BSc (Hons) Psychology and Criminology, fully accredited by British Psychology Society. I have worked in various settings including the NHS and mental health international and national charities, mainly over the telephone. This has given me a breadth of experience in, for example, depression and anxiety disorders, relationship, and family issues; self-harm and suicidal behaviour; trauma and bereavement.
I do not have all the answers although I do have the skills to help you discover yours. I also know that I can support you and be with you in your feelings of anxiety, fear, depression, anger, chaos, or loneliness. I strongly believe that you can be empowered to find your own answers and my job will only be helping you to seek and find them inside you. Together we will work on strategies that help you to address the root causes of your issues and build your resilience. Together, you and I can work towards discovering ways that help you to arrive at where you want to be.
As we adjust to the presence of COVID19, online and telephone sessions offer unique opportunities for you to feel supported amid the situation.
Prior to your first consultation, I will ask you to sign a consent form, where you can find information about our sessions and how your information will be kept in strict confidentiality.
