I am an integrative counsellor, CBT and mindfulness Therapist. I offer confidential counselling where young people and adults can gain support to cope with difficult life challenges, abuse or traumas that may negatively affect how they see themselves, their relationships or life in general.Counselling can be an opportunity to enhance self-awareness; develop coping strategies, build resilience about future goals.My appreciation of working with young people and adults from diverse communities comes from the various roles I have had working in education, care sector and counselling agencies over the last 20 years. I have supported adults in the mental health and wellbeing sector. I have worked in social care with the Black Country Mental Health team, CAMHS - NHS & Social Care in schools and GP practices, church and voluntary settings.These experiences have enabled me to have a wider understanding of some of the complex emotional, physical and psychological issues that may influence a persons decision to explore counselling. My aim is to create a safe space where clients of all ages can feel listened to and be supported to achieve what they would like to get out of counselling.I continue to be amazed by the ability that people have to overcome difficult situations when the right support is made available to them.
