ABOUT ME
Every New Day is a Chance to Change Your Life
I believe that everyone has the resources within them
to learn, develop and grow to fulfil their potential and live a meaningful life.
However, it's not always easy and sometimes it's even more difficult if we
have to do it alone or with limited support and understanding from others. Alternatively, we may not know how to ask for help and feel
uncomfortable 'burdening' others.
I am warm, friendly and approachable with a genuine
interest in helping you to understand yourself better.
I won't tell you what to do but I will, in a respectful and safe way,
help you to explore what is going on for you and why you think
the way you think, feel the way you feel and do the things you do.
I understand that taking the first steps to talk about your problems
can be scary but it can also be the beginning of making changes
and taking control of your life.
From my own personal counselling journey I learnt
to explore what I wanted in my life as well as how to be kind to myself.
I also realised that I wanted to become a counsellor myself
to help others change their lives in a positive way.
I’m interested in many aspects of therapy and am committed to
continuing my professional and personal development
through ongoing training and lifelong learning.
I am an Accredited Member of the
British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
and work in accordance with the
BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.
This supports me to work safely, ethically and in the
best interests of my clients.
I receive regular clinical supervision, undertake ongoing
professional development and regularly reflect
on my practice to ensure that the counselling I provide
continues to meet appropriate professional and ethical standards.
