Registered Counsellor

I am a registered counsellor. A registered counsellor is a psychological practitioner who assists with psychological interventions with individuals or groups. I help people talk about their feelings related to relationship difficulties, trauma, bereavement and help them deal with everyday life. This involves encouraging people to talk about their feelings, listening carefully, empathizing and assisting clients to see things in a different way as well as encouraging them to examine their choices in life and help them to find a way to make the necessary positive changes in their lives. During this process I look at the clients emotions and behaviours to increase their self confidence as well as their self-awareness.

In addition I am a qualified Speech/Language Therapist with many years of experience in the field, working in diverse settings for over 30 years, I am also a qualified community art counsellor. I incorporate various art therapy techniques with my clients, as a way to express themselves in a non threatening way, especially if they battle to express themselves verbally.

I provide a safe space that is confidential and helps the clients to express himself.
