“Knowledge is Power, Knowledge is Peace. Know your Thoughts, Emotions and Actions.”
As a Counsellor I provide a confidential, safe, respectful, supportive, non-judgmental environment, providing a space where you are heard with empathy and supported to unravel and resolve the difficulties you are currently facing.
My goal is By adapting an integrative and person-centred approach I pull from my background in research-based Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy to apply the most appropriate approach, based on the individual needs of the client.
It is my personal goal when I sit in front of a client, be it face to face or online to support and encourage clients to find their feet again, to understand their thought patterns and if required implement solution focused therapies to support the success of the clients’ goals and desired outcomes.
With over 15 years’ experience working in the division of female health in the health sector I appreciate the stresses, pressures and challenges hormonal influences contribute to physical, emotional and mental health factors. I have a particular interest in female Mental Well- being, and the hormonal implications on mental health. dealing with difficult life challenges from puberty right through to late adulthood. Research conducted included, “The Implications of Hormones on female mental health from adolescents through to post menopause”. With a particular focus on Maternal health from IVF, Miscarriage, Termination, subsequent pregnancies, post-natal anxiety, post-natal depression and parental stress induced by oxytocin.
After completing a BA Hons in Psychology and a master’s in counselling and Psychotherapy I have spent many years working with adults and adolescents in difficult times, suffering with anxiety, stress, depression, burn out, bereavement etc. I have a great respect for the demands both adolescents and adults face in their daily lives and I am very honoured to be working in the field of mental health and with each client I work with.
