About Me

As a counsellor, I worked for the charity MIND and had the privilege of journeying with clients from a range of backgrounds and cultures. My experience has been with clients dealing with a wide range of issues including, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, illnesses, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, loss, abuse, trauma, unhealthy coping mechanisms and work life stress. I have particular experienced in working with 2nd and 3rd generation British minority groups and those who have grown up within a Christian household/organisation.Before my training in counselling, I qualified and worked as a registered osteopath for several years. This gave me the foundations for viewing my clients holistically. I witnessed the deep interwoven nature of our physical and psychological areas of functioning.I am experienced in pastoral care and past voluntary work has given me experience in supporting the vulnerable in society.I am an Internal Family System Therapist, which is my preferred style of practice. I have completed Level 1 Training with IFS institute and am currently pursuing Level 2 Training.I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor. I am a Registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and the Association of Christian Counsellors (ACC). I adhere to their guidelines and code of ethics.Return

Qualifications and Training

My Approach

Internal Family SystemsThis modality is a respectful and compassionate way of interacting with our internal world. IFS acknowledges we have different parts within our system and that each person has a core “self” that holds qualities of compassion, calm, clarity, courage, creativity, curiosity, and connectedness. This approach helps individuals to expand their core qualities and bring understanding and compassion to the different parts in their system. Trust between core self and parts creates space for exploration and letting go of "burdens" that often lead to unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving. This model brings a sense of "harmony" in our systems. I am a Level 1 trained IFS Therapist and currently pursuing Level 2.

An Integrative CounsellorAs an Integrative Counsellor I can work with you using various counselling approaches and seek to use techniques that best suit you as the client. My practice draws upon various forms of therapy where different combinations are used, these include Creative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, Somatic Therapy and the Waverley Model.

FundamentalsI strongly believe in working with compassion, empathetically and viewing each person uniquely and holistically. I believe as people we have five distinct but deeply interwoven areas of functioning: Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, Behavioural, and Rational. Our work together will aim to give you greater awareness and understanding of these areas in your life.

Our PastMy approach is informed by Attachment theory, Psychodynamic theory and the Internal Family System approach. This gives foundation to my belief that much of what we face in current day is a result of our past experiences and how painful past experiences give rise to burdens and wounds that parts of us carry into our present days. Connection and understanding can lead to unburdening and healing. This is a process of trust and this approach generally takes time. Long-term counselling can be offered.

Collaborative WorkI do not have all the answers, nor will I be able to "fix" the issues you may be facing. But what I do offer, is a protected time and a therapeutic space to process and better understand yourself and your experiences. From this place of understanding, we can explore how you may consider moving forward. Journeying alongside someone is a privilege and one I hold with great care and respect.Return

What To Expect

Online Video CounsellingIt is important to have a quiet, confidential space where you will not be disturbed or overheard. Being ready for the session as if you were coming in person is a helpful perspective to have. I will always be in a confidential and private space.I will send you an email with a zoom link for our video session and open the meeting room. If you need assistance with navigating zoom, I can provide a help sheet.An agreement will be made between us regarding non-attendance and a backup plan will be agreed upon in case of any technical issues.

Other ConsiderationsWhen attending online counselling from home, you can feel more relaxed which is good. However, it is important to also continue to keep sessions professional and as if meeting in person. The unforeseeable doorbell ringing or the dog barking are things to occasionally expect but to the best of our ability, it is important to work together to protect the therapeutic space. Please prioritise our sessions as you would an important meeting or doctors appointment for example.Return

FAQ

Return

How does counselling work?Whether you have had counselling before or this is new to you, seeing a counsellor can feel unnerving. It helps to see therapy as a journey of learning in which, the client and counsellor discover, process and understanding what is significant to you. Everyone's journey is unique and this will reflect in the therapy process being tailored specifically for you.As I journey with you I will offer different ways of processing, understanding and in time moving forward.

How do I choose a Counsellor?Feeling that you are able to work with and feel comfortable with your counsellor is very important. An assessment session is helpful for this reason, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and for both of us to gain a sense of whether we can work together. It is also important for me to assess whether I have the skill set to help you.
Back

What happens once I contact you?Once I have received your enquiry I will reply to arrange a phone call (approx. 10 -15 mins), this will be to gain a sense of what you are looking for and to arrange an assessment session.If after the assessment session we decide to work together, we will agree on a weekly time and length for sessions. We will also go through a Counselling Contract that outlines expectations between ourselves and some practicalities.
Back

How about my confidentiality?Counselling is strictly private and confidential and no information is shared with others.However, this may not always be possible under law, safeguarding, or a risk of serious harm to yourself or others. The purpose of disclosing
the information would be to ensure your safety or the safety of another.I do take GP details in case of a serious concern about your safety; I do not routinely contact them.I have regular supervision to ensure I am working professionally and in your best interests, your personal details remain confidential, and my
supervisor treats any counselling work content confidentially.
