My Counselling Journey

Motivation

My occupation began as a hairdresser and I loved my work. I felt a genuine connection with my clients, especially being a mobile hairdresser and getting to know people in their own environment. However, I always wanted to be able to support people on a deeper level of understanding.

I was motivated to become a Counsellor, through  my own experience of Counselling. This was at a time in life when I felt overwhelmed and had low self-worth. Counselling tranformed my self-esteem and I was able to believe in myself once again. The support that I received gave me confidence and had a positive impact on my life. The change in my own self impacted my whole family and empowered me.

I felt drawn to support other people in a similar way.

In January 2022, I gained my Counselling

Diploma and became a member of the BACP, professional body for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Since this time I have been supporting people with emotional distress, anxiety, grief and relational difficulties.

My approach is Person-centred. By being congruent, empathetic and compassionate, a relationship in connection can begin. The acceptance of the other person is non-judgemental and has no conditions of worth. It is a process of connection, awareness and understanding, with you. 

Change is a process of self-awareness and acceptance. 

Learning to trust your own instincts, gain a sense of autonomy and acceptance, frees a person to make their own choices in life and connect to what feels right.

I am passionate about the Counselling process and inspired by the courage of my clients.
