I am a trained counsellor with 10 years experience, I am re-training as a child counsellor also now. I am passionate about counselling, I had counselling many years ago and it helped me re-build my life, and I am now committed to wanting to help other people in the same way.
About me and my practice
I have a private practice, and an online practice. I work for Betterhelp at the moment as well as my self. I work in a Humanistic Counselling way, very much person centered, the clients I have, I like to get into their world, and help them to understand themselves better. I also like to work in a creative way, using Art or Sandtray therapy. Gestalt therapy, I like to use any means to be able to help people see their lives and what they can do to help themselves.
I understand that therapy can be a very scary place, and if you end up in therapy it is because something is not working in your life. I am a very empathic person, who finds it very easy to sit alongside another person, to put myself in their shoes and try to see what life is like for them.
Experience
I trained at York St John University and received a Merit in my counselling course in 2008. I have done many other courses to keep up with my CPDincluding many Creative Courses, the last one I did was on Sandtray work, something that i believe in very strongly.
I now also work for the online therapy, Betterhelp. I have around 7 clients each week on Betterhelp, they are from all over the world. It is a very good site and I hope I provide a very good service. I have lots of reviews to show that.
I am now also re-training as a child counsellor so I can give support to children also. In this time there is so much need for this. I am doing my placement in a school in North Yorkshire.
