You may worry about burdening your family or friends. You may worry you’ll upset people or they won’t really understand or be objective.
In our sessions I will really listen to you, as you try to make sense of it all. We will work together to form a trusting relationship and I will listen with empathy and compassion, not criticism or judgement. With time and our developing relationship you will be able to be completely yourself, maybe for the first time.
I can also gently challenge you to maybe see things differently and also help you to explore who you really are and accept yourself.
I am a, person-centred counselling therapist which means I believe, with the right conditions, anyone can find their true self and develop to reach their full potential.
I have helped a lot of adults with depression, perfectionism and imposter syndrome feel better about themselves, feel less depressed and recognise their self-worth.
Clients who have identified as people pleasers have been able to acknowledge and prioritise their own needs and emotions and put themselves first.
ADHD
Getting an ADHD diagnosis is really just the beginning. Realising you are ADHD can be both devastating and life-changing at the same time. It means you look back on your life with a totally different view. It takes time to make sense of it all and I can help you do that as I’ve been there myself.
I don’t see ADHD as a disorder or a deficiency, I see it is a difference.
Once you acknowledge yourself in relation to ADHD, it can be self-affirming and you may be able to regard yourself with kindness and compassion rather than criticism and judgement.
Daughters of narcissistic/ emotionally absent mothers
I have an interest working with daughters who grew up with an emotionally absent mother and the long term impact of childhood emotional neglect on depression, self esteem and people pleasing tendencies.
I am a BACP registered counselling therapist with proven experience supporting a diverse range of clients in private practice, education and the community.
I have experience of working with the following:
I have a degree in Psychology alongside a CPCAB Counselling Diploma (Levels 2-4) gained over 4 years of in depth training,
I continue to add to my own professional development with training in depression, shame, avoidant attachment, co-dependency and ADHD in adults.
"My drive to become a therapist has always been to give my clients the amazing and life changing experience I had in my own therapy."
I started my own therapy as I was fed up feeling depressed and not good enough, I wanted something to change. Sitting with a therapist who I learned to trust and who really listened with empathy and compassion was so powerful for me. I was able to un-become some of the things I thought about myself and realise I was actually OK. Therapy is not a quick fix and it takes time and commitment to discover who you really are underneath all the layers.
I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step to investing in yourself but believe me its well worth it!
I come from an education background before moving on to teaching photography in schools and now therapeutic counselling. I have experience working with all kinds of people. I have always been fascinated with people's behaviour, emotions and relationships and strive to learn more about myself through supervision and training plus my own ongoing personal development.
