Relationship Counsellor

I am trained in Person-Centred Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamics. I specialise in Relationship and Family Counselling, Dementia and mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, work-related stress and breakdowns. I also have vast experience of bereavement counselling.

I am a BACP registered Integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor and am a member of the British Psychological Society.

I offer individual therapy, couple Counselling, family therapy and Supervision.

I also offer EMDR sessions.  Currently at a reduced fee per session, as I am recently trained.

In addition, I offer family/group therapy (up to 4 people) for people who have recently been diagnosed with Dementia/Alzheimer’s and their families/friends.

I have many years experience (9+ years) of working with Carers/family members who care for their loved ones who are living with Dementia. When caring for a loved one, our own emotions and feelings can sometimes be forgotten. However, by having the opportunity to offload it may help to come to terms with the loss of the person they were before Dementia.

I have vast experience of working with clients living with anxiety, depression, panic attacks and work-related stress. By offering open-ended Counselling sessions, this has aided my clients to build themselves up from needing a length of time off work, to continue their working life or create a new work and life journey.

I have been working and volunteering as a Counsellor for over 7 years now and I have rounded experience in helping and working with clients through a variety of issues. I aim to provide my clients with the best therapeutic process in order for them to gain the most out of their counselling sessions.

I have a BSc (Hons) degree in Psychology and have experience of working with Carers, people living with dementia and their families.

I have previously worked with adolescents (2 school years) in Senior schools, by having one-to-one sessions, covering a variety of issues, including bullying, self-harm, abuse and young carer role.

I feel by having hands on experience, personal experience and professional experience, helps me to be more empathetic.

I was a Dementia Support Worker and a Cognitive Stimulation Therapy Practitioner for over 3 years and I have experience of running 24-week CST (http://www.cstdementia.com) programmes for clients that have a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia.
