I have a lot of experience working with clients struggling with feelings of emotional dysregulation. By helping clients to identify and label emotions, we improve self-awareness and emotional intelligence and work together to develop healthy coping strategies and set healthy boundaries to gain a deeper understanding of self and increase levels of self-compassion.

I have previously worked in helping clients with anger management issues. 

I also have experience of working with young people and as a school counsellor in Leeds alongside my private work.  

I use the person-centered approach as I find it helps clients to identify and process the issues that have been affecting them. I find it particularly effective with those who may not easily feel able to describe or identify the thoughts or feelings which are troubling them.

MY APPROACH

I help people who are feeling alone, angry, sad, anxious or low. If a life event has caused a client to suffer trauma, guilt, stress or grief they do not need to deal with those thoughts and feelings alone. Counselling can help clients to process the trauma and find a happier, healthier place.

My practise focuses upon creating a safe, confidential place where we can explore issues, feelings, beliefs, behaviour, and thoughts. I aim to help the client improve self-awareness, wellbeing and to work through their issues, building self-confidence. 

My approach is to treat the client as the expert on themselves, the solutions come from within.

WHO I WORK WITH

I currently work with adults. We will work at your pace and I will guide you along a journey toward better self-awareness and wellbeing.
