About Me
I am a person-centred counsellor, both insured and DBS checked. I follow the BACP code of practice. I also have an additional certification in the understanding of Autism spectrum and specialist training for working with people with Dementia.
I have clinical experience in Autism and Disabilities counselling agencies. I worked with individuals across the lifespan, with a primary focus on adults living with various mental health problems.
I have a background in clinical psychiatry, working with various mental health diseases, and has worked in a residential treatment centre for dementia.
I helped clients manage various common mental health problems, including, depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties, attachment and relationship issues, career decision-making challenges.
I see therapy as a collaboration between the client and the clinician, with the primary goal of meeting the client’s specific needs.
My approach is person-centred and solution-focused.
The benefits of person-centred therapy
Generally, person-centred counselling can help individuals of all ages, with a range of personal issues. Many people find it an appealing type of therapy because it allows them to keep control over the content and pace of sessions, and there is no worry that they are being evaluated or assessed in any way.
The non-direct style of person-centred counselling is thought to be more beneficial to those who have a strong urge to explore themselves and their feelings, and for those who want to address specific psychological habits or patterns of thinking.
The approach is said to be particularly effective in helping individuals to overcome specific problems such as depression, anxiety, stress and grief, or other mental health concerns. These issues can have significant impact on self-esteem, self-reliance and self-awareness, and person-centred therapy can help people to reconnect with their inner self in order to transcend any limitations.
