I offer in-person sessions from my office in Croft Myl, just outside Halifax town centre, as well as remote sessions over Zoom.
As an integrative therapist, I will collaborate with you to tailor our sessions to best meet your needs in the time we have together. You may have something specific that you want to explore your feelings about in a confidential space, for example a relationship in your life or a major change that you are struggling to adjust to. You may have a sense that something is not quite right, and want to explore your past and your ways of relating to others to try to find answers.
Our sessions can be a private holding space for difficult emotions, a place to use creativity to explore your inner world, or an opportunity to explore and challenge the things that you feel are holding you back from happiness and fulfilment. I work with warmth, integrity and honesty. I will provide a space for you to talk and process, and support you through the difficult emotions that this may bring up, and I can also help you to identify how you can make realistic changes in your life to support your psychological wellbeing, and, if appropriate, provide relevant information and insight that may help you gain a deeper level of self-knowledge, which often leads to greater self-confidence.
In addition to my private practice I coordinate a counselling service in a hospice, and therefore have experience working with people around bereavement, terminal illness, carer strain and anticipatory grief.
I also have experience and personal interest in working with the following clients:
- Survivors of domestic abuse
- Neurodivergent adults
- People who use creative skills in their day to day life and want to put these skills to use for recovery and personal exploration.
If you are looking for someone with a relaxed, straightforward manner, whose approach combines a grounding in theory with creativity, authenticity and warmth, then I might be the right counsellor for you. Get in touch to arrange a free twenty minute introductory phone call.
Note: I see private clients on Mondays and Fridays. While I do offer evening appointments, availability is limited, and I am happy to respond to enquiries about my current availability.
