I have also worked as a telephone counsellor for an I.A.P.T. service in North Yorkshire/Calderdale.
I did a counselling placement at Sheffield College alongside a placement in the NHS at Sheffield Central Health Clinic. Much of this work was supporting women making decisions regarding terminations.
My core training is in Person Centered/humanistic counselling. I aim to offer a safe supportive space for clients to explore their issues.
At certain times in our lives, we can all have difficulties or stuckness, where a non-judging, safe, and honest supportive space to explore our issues can be necessary.
As the client, you set the agenda for the counselling, bringing the issues you need to explore, and we work at your pace to gain insight and understanding to help you.
