I work with children from 6 years old, adolescents and adults with mild to moderate issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can help you with a variety of issues such as, but not exhaustive: depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, anger and bereavement. My training in Humanistic Counselling enables me to work empathically and unconditionally, empowering people to grow emotionally towards their ideal self, allowing self-actualisation to take place, enabling people to reach their ideal potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can all need emotional support at times with events such as life changes, trauma and past events. These can impede our coping skills. As a Counsellor I can offer a safe, non-judgemental environment for individuals to explore their feelings, behaviours and emotions and be able to move forward and regain a sense of self-empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Supervisor Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am a qualified Counselling Supervisor, having a Certificate in Clinical Supervision, providing professional support for Counsellors.
