Where to Begin
With deep understanding and empathy for people struggling with the pressures of daily life, self-worth, self-harm and suicidality, I appreciate how difficult it can be to talk candidly about these issues and the associated emotional pain involved. I endeavour to provide a kind listening ear to help work through these issues. As a pluralistic practitioner, I work across a range of delivery mechanisms and modalities that can be person- centred, psychodynamic, CBT or a combination thereof.
Respect the person as a whole
Holistic psychotherapy
My clinical experience counselling adults who have suffered traumatic adverse childhood experiences, sexual assault and domestic violence has clarified my resolve to work with people before their best attempts at coping alone become dangerous and unhelpful and habitual.
I have developed an understanding of how debilitating anxiety and depression can be. When adults and young people struggle with normal daily tasks and attendance, the drive for safety overrides any zest and ability to engage with the outside world including work, leisure, education and learning.
Years of experience as a crisis helpline volunteer has cemented this belief that the earlier the intervention and the opportunity to talk, the better the outcome.
My Experiential Approach
Having brought up four children through the turbulent teenage years, I am aware that young people and parents of young people often need help from outside the family unit. Being a young person is difficult enough for many, even for those with a stable and secure home and school life. The external pressures for young people can be incredibly overwhelming. Social media, education, parental and societal expectations are immense, particularly for those who feel alien to the perceived normal.
I can see clients in person at Bingley Counselling Centre in the heart of the town. I can also offer online and telephone counselling.
