soul be just another human soul.”
― C.G. Jung
A unique humanist approach that integrates one to one counselling with holistic therapies for a life changing journey of personal healing. As a fully qualified and experienced Counsellor/therapist, I have a genuine passion for promoting healing, personal growth, self-discovery and recovery from within. At the heart of my work is the relationship I build with my clients - a relationship of mutual trust and one based on a strong sense of compassion, warmth and empathy towards each individual client, whatever their background, issues or experience.
I offer clients a unique humanistic approach to counselling that combines my own proven signature framework with more recognised counselling theories including Person Centred Counselling, Cognitive Behaviours Therapy, Psychodynamic Theory & Solution Focused Brief Therapy. Most importantly, I offer clients a bespoke approach tailored totally around their individual therapeutic needs.
I am professionally registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and hold qualifications in further holistic and psychological therapies. I am also a Reiki Master/Practitioner Teacher, attuned to Usui Reiki Master Level & Seichim. Highly experienced, fully insured & professionally registered with UK Reiki Federation. https://www.reikifed.co.uk/
I provide my clients with a professional, yet warm and welcoming environment in which to explore the problems they are facing. Whether it be counselling or an alternative therapy, each session is provided in a safe, comfortable and confidential environment. I will strive to help you in any way I can, which usually comes in the form of counselling, talking therapy or reiki, however, this can be adjusted should your needs require so. Having a heartfelt passion for what I do, I feel very blessed to do my work and to have met so many wonderful people along the way.
I personally, as well as professionally have discovered the benefits of each of the therapies I offer, each one having deeply enhanced and improved positive changes within my own life and the lives of many clients.
Thank you for taking the time to read about me, I look forward to hearing from you.
