About Me

So how did I become a Counsellor?

When I struggled to cope, I felt alone, as though

I had reached rock bottom and could see no

way out of the dark place I was in.

I had no energy, getting dressed was a huge

achievement, even getting downstairs some

days was difficult for me.

To cope with the simplest of things would send 

my anxiety through the roof. I felt as though I was stuck at the bottom

of a dark well with no way out.

I then received Counselling.

During the sessions I began to learn who I was again, and gained

the courage, and self-esteem to make the changes I needed to function more positively and move forward with my life.

I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and counselling gave me the resources

to fight the darkness

 **********************

After having personal experiences of Counselling, realising the benefits and having

such a positive outcome, I decided to retrain as a Counsellor.

I wanted to give the support and help to others as I had received.

During my training as a Humanistic Counsellor, I had a placement as a student Counsellor for

a local Bereavement Charity. I worked as a trainee for 2 years and a further 3 years once qualified.

After completing my training I started my own private practice, and in 2019 I moved

my Counselling Practice into the heart of Bridgnorth Town.

I have continued with my training in many areas since qualifying,

becoming an Integrated Counsellor.

I am always looking

to expand my knowledge so that I may provide a bespoke Counselling service to my clients dependant upon their own individual circumstances and requirements, and adjust my therapeutic methods to suit each individual client.
