Whatever your gender, ethnicity, seen or unseen disability, race, sexual identity, religious and spiritual belief or none, I will listen to you with empathy, kindness, respect and understanding.
As a Relate Trained Counsellor, I particularly draw on the Systemic and Psychodynamic Theoretical Perspectives but also understand the importance of being client-led. I listen to family scripts and narratives, with a person-centred focus. My experience over 2400 hours means that I have worked with, supported and cared for many different and unique individuals.
This had led me to a greater understanding of the importance and impact of the many systems that affect us throughout our lives.
Wherever we live in the world these systems include:
The family systems and networks of our original care providers whatever form that may be including adopted, carers, foster
Schooling, friends, peers, teachers, the education system, University, College
The Workplace and working environment
Current family life whether blended, extended and same-sex and friends that we choose to call our family
All of these have a significant effect on our lives, mental health and well-being.
I am here to listen to you, it is good to talk, to be able to share your feelings.
