About me and my therapy practice
As a Humanistic Counsellor, I pay close attention to the person as a whole, taking into account Your mental, physical and emotional needs, including your heritage and past experiences and where the main aim is to build a trusting and non-judgmental relationship that helps you feel safe and where your choices are valued and respected.
My counselling experience developed prominently in areas of grief, loss, depression, social anxiety, sexual abuse, bullying, self-harm, suicidal thoughts and trauma. If you're unsure I can be of help, please do not hesitate to ask.
The approach I take in the therapeutic relationship will position YOU in a place of an expert. Only you know what truly is going for you, what has happened to you and if at the present moment the world feels like a deserted island, talking and processing experienced difficulties in a safe environment can lead to clarity and relief. It can also help build on the courage and curiosity to develop new, perhaps healthier ways to overcome what hurts.
Due to my heritage and a long road of personal learning, I recognise how intersectionality and experienced discrimination due to race, heritage, culture, disability, sexuality, gender or economic background can impact one's view of self and the world.
I'm continually trying to develop within myself and in my practice anti-discriminatory culture, where your presence in the counselling room is not defined by societal/political expectations, labels or categories.
My first session
INITIAL CONSULTATION
The idea of initial consultation is to help you to decide whether I am somebody who you might want to work with, giving you the opportunity to ask me any questions, and to test out what it feels like to be in conversation with me. In our initial meeting we might discuss what therapy is, what brings you to therapy, and explore how we might work together.
Initial Consultation Cost
In person - 30 min - £25
Online or Telephone - 20 min - FREE
