Online Counselling, Psychotherapy and Supervision.
Based in Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent, accepting online clients UK wide (Manchester, Birmingham, London)
Would you like to feel more confident, and happier in yourself? It takes courage to ask for support so I will do all I can to make your experience comfortable and beneficial. I offer online Counselling and Psychotherapy for anyone aged 14 years and up. I also offer clinical supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists who work with children and adults.
I specialise in helping people to:
- believe in themselves
- feel more resilient and better able to cope
- build healthier relationships
Counselling and Psychotherapy can offer you a safe and accepting place for you to share experiences, thoughts, feelings and emotions in a way that you may be unable to do – for any reason – with friends and family. I welcome you to explore whatever is troubling you, so that you can find a more comfortable way of being.
You are in the right place if you would like to:
- have a safe and accepting place to share your story
- have mental clarity
- feel more confident
- be more comfortable in your relationships
- achieve your personal goals
About Me
With a degree in psychology, a postgraduate diploma in psychotherapy, and over 15 years’ experience and training in the mental health field, I pride myself on being an ethical and effective client-centred therapist and supervisor. I established a supportive and empowering group called ‘The Self’Belief Project’ The group supports parents to empower their children and teens to feel more confident and have better self-belief. We share resources, tips and activities and support. The aim is to promote open hearted communication so that families feel calmer and more connected.
Alongside my private practice of 8 years, I have worked as a Registered Manager to a residential home for young people aged 15-25, and managed a team in a psychological wellbeing service within the NHS. I have worked with many charities as a Counsellor including IAPT (NHS), Rape and Sexual Abuse Services and Younger Mind. I also set up The Inspire Project, a BBC Children in Need funded therapeutic service for girls aged 14-18.
