I work with people who struggle with a lot of self-doubt. I can support you in your journey in figuring out who you genuinely are and what you genuinely want for yourself. The aim is to support you in growing your confidence and belief in yourself.

I am aware that at times life can feel quite confusing. Balancing different cultures and beliefs and not being quite sure about who you are and what your identity is. What is certain however, is that the life you are leading isn’t working for you. It feels unfulfilled, unhappy, stuck. Somewhere along the lines, you forgot the value that you offer to yourself and to others. This has led to a knock-on effect on how you feel about yourself, your self-esteem and even your relationships with others.

Experiencing certain situations or living an unauthentic life can leave us feeling and thinking the below thoughts: 

• Maybe I’m not good enough, no matter what I do. 
• I can’t seem to get it right. 
• I feel so misunderstood. 
• I feel unseen. • I feel unheard. 
• I’m the problem. 
• Why am I so difficult to love? 
• I don’t know how to move forward. 
• I feel stuck. 
• I’m _________ (add any unhealthy, negative label, such as, lazy, boring, disorganised, needy, clingy, too sensitive etc). 

If any of the above statements resonate with you, then I may be able to support you. 

What I offer:

I offer you the opportunity of a safe and confidential space that is free from any judgement and full of acceptance and empathy.

What this means for you is that you get a space to openly talk about what is troubling you; your past, your childhood, and the impact those experiences may have on you today. The purpose is to create opportunities to gain insights and clarity by exploring your thoughts and feelings, as well as supporting you in developing gradual changes that ultimately lead to a more healthier and balanced way of life.

Throughout this journey, I will support you in exploring and coming to an understanding of your own realistic wants and needs for your own life, whilst also supporting you in building a foundation of respect for yourself; stemming from a recognition of your own incredible worth and value.

I’m a big believer in people deserving the time and support to grow into a version of themselves that they feel confident and content with, and it is my aim to strongly support you in that journey.

Professional and Personal Experience:

I have worked within the NHS IAPT service offering short-term, focussed counselling as well as working with organisations, offering long-term counselling and psychotherapy to women who have experienced abusive relationships. I’ve also worked as a peer mentor and emotional support worker, supporting women to rebuild their lives and overcome different forms of abuse.

My personal experience involved, growing up within different cultures, which created many internal conflicts within me, pulling me in different directions. With time and growth, I was able to come to an understanding of who I was and what I wanted for myself. This allowed me to make decisions from a place of confidence, stemming from true belief in myself and my value.

Intertwining, my personal and professional experiences, along with my training allows me to tailor my work according to your needs and requirements. 

I understand that it can feel quite difficult trying to find a counsellor that is the right fit for you and so I offer a free 20 minute consultation in which we can discuss what has brought you to counselling and what you would like to gain from therapy.

During this consultation, you are free to ask any questions you have about counselling and the way I work, in order to help you make an informed decision about whether my way of working is a good fit for you.
