Why I Do This Work
We all face times in life when things feel heavy, confusing, or too much to manage alone. I became a counsellor because I believe that everyone deserves a safe and supportive space to explore their feelings, discover new perspectives, and find a way to start loving the now.
My Training and Approach
I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling through Chrysalis, which means I have been trained in a variety of approaches person centred, CBT, psychodynamics as well as hypnotherapy that can be adapted to suit your indvidual needs. My work is person-centred at its core – which means our sessions are about you: your experiences, your story, and your goals. We work together to find what helps you most, whether that’s exploring past experiences, learning practical tools, or simply having a space to talk and be heard. Your voice matters in shaping the direction of therapy.
I bring warmth, empathy. and gentle guidance into every session with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. Together, we can explore what’s troubling you, uncover patterns that may be holding you back, and help you move towards a calmer, more fulfilling way of living.
What You Can Expect From Me
- A non-judgemental, confidential space
- Compassion, honesty and respect
- Support at your pace, not mine
- Practical tools to help you manage day-to-day challenges
Outside the Therapy Room
While counselling is my professional focus, I also value the importance of balance, self-care, and living in the present moment – which is where the name Loving the Now Therapies came from. I have spent long periods of my life in situations that have made me stressed and unhappy, where I have lost myself and now my focus is being kind to myself and making the most of every moment. I believe that even small steps of awareness and self-compassion can create meaningful change.
If you’re wondering whether counselling might help, I’d love to hear from you. Sometimes the first step can feel daunting, but it can also be the beginning of real transformation.
