About me and my therapy practice
I'm a person-centred counsellor/psychotherapist working online and in person in Shrewsbury and Ludlow. My approach values our collaboration together, through a trusting relationship. I can support your self-understanding through skilful presence and listening. Deep down, you know yourself best, so, true solutions will come from you. I can offer space to pay attention to, and ease the signals of distress, and if you wish to, we can go deeper to reach a place where you can find peace. I believe we human beings are driven toward and have the capacity for growth and happiness. This is the force for therapeutic change. Some people find writing, drawing or just talking helpful ways of releasing that energy for change. My role as a therapist is to provide a non-judgemental, caring and safe environment for self-expression and making sense of things. This is the place where new understanding and healing can begin.
Practice description
​After over two decades working with young people in teaching, I am now a fully qualified therapist with an MSc in Person-centred Counselling and Psychotherapy, registered with the Â鶹Դ´. I am always keen to continue learning, even at this later stage in life, with experience in Systemic Family Practice and training in Cruse Bereavement Counselling. I specialise in creative approaches to self-awareness and healing, with Person-centred Creative Arts training and Poetry therapy training. Caring, compassionate and authentic, my practice is founded on spiritual and Person-centred values and I work hard to offer a safe place for my clients to explore and find their own resources for growth and healing. If this sounds right for you, or you'd like to find out more, do get in touch.
