BA (Hons) Integrative Counselling MBACP (Accred)

Integrative Counsellor based at Fairkytes Art Centre. Offering face to face, online, telephone, walk and talk counselling.

As an integrative counsellor, I use an integrative approach. This means I use the three main forces in psychology. Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamics.

I adapt my counselling skills, combining theories and techniques to suit your needs.  We can incorporate creative counselling skills and mindfulness into the sessions.

My experience

My experience so far has led me to work with adults and teenage clients on a wide range of issues. For example; depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, abuse, bereavement, low self-esteem, self harm, long term debilitating illness, mental health issues, trauma. Also the challenges of growing up or just being within the technological world. Including issues that can be brought up though social media.

Emotional pain is not something that should be hidden away and never spoken about.

There is truth in your pain, There is growth in your pain,

But only if it’s first brought out into the open.

If you are choosing that it is now time for you to make changes in your life. It is time to take the chance to change your life.

Counselling can help you to take control of your life through talking through what it going on for you.

Through counselling it can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your difficulties can enable a clearer sense of your identity and sense of purpose. Knowing how you got to where you are and the impact of life events and relationships, can enable an inner strength and feeling of safety and security.

Having a solid sense of who you are and what you want in life, can help you to make positive, lasting changes and enable you to thrive, finding peace, joy and excitement.

Ways to work with you

All of the different ways I can work with you. My aim will always be to create a confidential, safe space. For you to be able to talk and express yourself, within your therapeutic hour of 50 minutes.

I am offer the following ways for counselling and supervision.

It isn’t weak to ask for help. It’s like using a flashlight when you’re lost in the dark.
