Integrative Counselling Shildon and Online
About Me
My journey in mental health began over 12 years ago, working with individuals facing learning disabilities and challenging behaviours. This experience opened my eyes to the complexities of mental health and the profound impact of compassionate support. It was this realisation that led me to pursue a career in counselling.
I believe in the innate potential of every individual to grow, heal, and become the best version of themselves. My approach is integrative, which means I draw from various therapeutic techniques to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. Whether you're an adult navigating life's challenges, a young person finding your way, or a child needing gentle guidance, I'm here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration and growth.
I have gained valuable experience working for a cancer charity, deepening my understanding of how to support people through some of life's most challenging experiences, including illness, bereavement, and grief. This experience reinforced my commitment to providing empathetic, client-centred care.
As a BACP registered therapist, I adhere to a strict code of ethics, ensuring that our work together is always conducted with the utmost professionalism and respect for your well-being. Whether we're meeting online or over the phone, my goal is to create a warm, supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in your life.
