I am known as Shola for short and want to thank you for reading my listing.I am a humanistic integrative counsellor who believes that each one of us is unique, has value and the ability to grow and develop throughout life. I enjoy working with clients from a diverse range of backgrounds, showing sensitivity, acceptance and respect.I provide a calm, non judgemental and empathetic space in which to process emotions and reflect on life experiences.  In working with you, I will be attentive to your needs and work with you in a supportive way. I can assist you in gaining understanding and insight into the issues that you wish to explore within counselling.There may be painful and challenging moments as we work through some of the experiences that you have had but we will undertake this journey together.I have experience of working with adults in long and short-term therapy in areas including anxiety, depression and bereavement and I am a trauma informed counsellor. As well as working in private practice I also work as a Counsellor for a Mental Health Charity.
