Challenges in life are inevitable whether it be a loss of a loved one, relationship breakup, unemployment, or feelings of loneliness. Every struggle is unique to the individual, requiring different methods of support.
As an integrative counsellor I draw on several different approaches. I work holistically, looking at the physical, psychological and spiritual aspect of a person (body, mind and soul).
In my previous career and voluntary work, I had the privilege of working with babies, toddlers and pregnant mothers. During my counselling training I worked with young children, teenagers and adults. I have a broad understanding of the parent-child attachment and the impact this may have on behavioural patterns in adult life.
I believe that understanding yourself in a deeper way helps to build resilience and secure relationships. My aim is to provide a safe-space in which you can share and explore your story and find meaning to some of the difficult challenges you may be experiencing.
As a mother of a child with additional needs, I understand the importance of having someone to talk with, who through their own lived experience can understand some of the emotional challenges faced when caring for someone with additional needs.
As part of a research project undertaken whilst studying to qualify as a therapist, I researched the mental health of parents/carers of children with SEND. Responses stated that 100% of parents/carers suffered from mental and physical exhaustion, 82% felt feelings of guilt and anger and 88% reported not having their own time as a negative impact.
These feelings and emotions can often be draining and sometimes difficult to articulate because of the deep connection to the loved one being cared for.
I offer a compassionate space in which these emotions are accepted and understood.
I have awareness and experience of ADHD, Autism, Rare Genetic Disorders, Challenging Behaviours and Severe Global Development Delays.
