About Counselling & Therapy

 

How I Work

 

As a Humanistic Counsellor & Therapist, I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space that gives you the opportunity to:

 

• Share challenging thoughts and emotions with ease.
• Feel heard and understood.
• Feel confident that you will be met with acceptance.  

 

These elements are the foundation for building a strong therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe as we work together on:

 

• Making sense of your experiences.
• Gaining new perspectives.
• Discovering your inner resources.
• Developing coping strategies.
• Increasing your resilience and overall well-being.

 

I use an integrative approach, tailoring sessions to best suit your needs. This might include giving you space to talk through your issues, offering coping strategies or taking a more creative approach.

 

I work with a variety of issues, such as persistent worries, overwhelming stress, feeling sad or numb, and student-specific challenges.

 

Counselling could also be a useful resource if you’re not facing specific challenges but want to work on personal growth to gain a clearer sense of what you want in your life and explore ways to get more from it.

 

If you're unsure whether I work with the specific issue you need help with, you can find more details on the home page or by contacting me.

• Long and short-term work.
• Face-to-face sessions in Central Durham.
• Online sessions via Microsoft Teams.
• Telephone appointments.
