Thus, creating a positive outlook and changes in your life
About me and my practice
My counselling approach includes person-centred, gestalt, emotion focused therapy and transactional analysis. I work with many issues however, my specialisms are depression, anxiety, relationships, bereavement, LGBTQ+ and I also offer animal assisted therapy to individuals and groups, this entails animal assisted activities for you and your pets, enabling you to interact with your pet in a different way, helping to support your mental health and well-being.
Working together, I will help facilitate growth by helping you look at your most pressing issue, which may lead to exploration of other aspects of your life, from the relationship with yourself, family, friends, work colleagues and your views on the world in general and how it effects your thinking, emotions, and outward behaviours.
I recognise how taking that first step towards therapy can prove a little difficult, however, I guarantee that I will allow space for autonomy in a non-judgmental manner, this will allow room for organic growth and a positive therapeutic relationship.
