Approach and orientation
I am a counsellor and supervisor trained in person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. I have ten years’ experience and work with couples as well as with individuals.
My main area of expertise is in relationship work of all kinds whether that is family, partners, colleagues or indeed anyone else in our lives. I have also worked with many clients on the autistic spectrum who are struggling with communication and relationships in a neuro typical world.
By exploring the issues impacting the relationship and working on improving communication skills, I can help individual clients and couples to find their own way forward. I am particularly interested in exploring the causes and effect of low self- esteem as I believe this can have a devastating impact on relationships and life choices.
I have experience of working with domestic abuse and using ‘relationship counselling in safe mode’ to support couples experiencing relationship conflict.
As a qualified career guidance and development counsellor, I support clients who are unhappy in their careers or who would like to change career. I also work with students who are struggling with issues around their studies or personal lives.
