I am an experienced Person-Centred Counsellor, having been qualified for over 10 years and a supervisor for 4 years. I have worked in a Women’s Charity counselling women around the diversity of issues they bring. My background is also in education in a supportive role, where I have 24 years' experience working with ADHD, ASC, learning and physical disability. I have studied ecology and conservation and I am a great advocate for the power of working with nature as a healing environment and the positive impacts on well-being. I have worked with women on an allotment project for over 10 years as a therapeutic way of working side by side in an outdoor environment that often suits a person better than working in a counselling room. Working from a humanistic approach reflects my belief in respecting and valuing everyone as an individual with autonomy and the ability to develop themselves to reach their potential. My work often involves building up self-esteem and confidence so that you can make your own choices for your next steps. As a counsellor I will aim to build a therapeutic, trusting relationship with you so that you will be able to explore your feelings and experiences in a safe, confidential space.
