The main aim of all therapy is to provide a safe space for clients to explore their own experiences, thoughts, and feelings without judgement. As a dedicated person-centred counsellor, I work in confidential settings. I also integrate other approaches in counselling to meet my clients needs : Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Transactional Analysis (TA) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) I offer online and telephone counselling. I offer online and telephone counselling (zoom/teams),

I am skilled in active listening, am able to demonstrate empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruent. I work to encourage an approach whereby clients discover their own abilities, autonomy and achieve their self-actualisation. I demonstrate equality regardless of a client’s race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other personal characteristics so that clients feel fully accepted.

My dual language means that I work with clients of both English and Polish origin giving me an awareness of cultural differences and diversity.

I adhere to BACP guidance and as a accredited counsellor I must follow legal requirements to report any safeguarding concerns that arise during therapy. With all clients I create an environment of trust and clear boundaries following a clear agreement for confidentiality and specific reasons where this needs to be breached when either the client or others are perceived to be at risk.

For each client I complete an assessment of need to identify presenting issues so that a clear plan of work can be agreed and established. The topics covered include self-harm, stress management, depression, bereavement, trauma, domestic abuse, suicide, exploitation, radicalisation, eating disorders, anger management, self- esteem and confidence and a whole other range of issues.
