A Private Counsellor Chorlton – My experience is working with people short and long term on the issues that bring them to therapy. My MSc research looked at the impact of childhood trauma on adult mental health; my BSc research looked at how depression impacts chronic illness management in young adults. My counselling placements were working with people with neurological conditions, and with women at a local Women’s centre. I sometimes draw from my own life and professional experience in our work together, and am congruent (‘real’, genuine, and honest) in my work with clients, as I believe this creates a stronger therapeutic relationship.
I offer a supportive space for you to explore what you need to. I work in a trauma informed way, with a focus on how you are experiencing the therapy and the relationship we form.
When experiencing stress and difficulty, it is important to experience connection and acceptance. I believe in the power of self-expression from a place of safety. I offer space for you to be your fullest self. This can feel especially helpful if there might be parts of yourself you hide from others. Maybe you are neurodivergent and are looking to find acceptance and understanding. I am experienced working with autistic and ADHD clients, both diagnosed, self-identifying, and those on the diagnostic pathway. Receiving a late diagnosis of autism or ADHD can be challenging and can be something that is helpful to bring to therapy. Working to support and understand your unique world-view and experiences, together we can explore what’s going on.
In therapy with me, you will hopefully experience acceptance and support as you navigate difficult feelings, emotions, and situations. The toughest things to explore can be where the most insight and change can happen. Therapy can be tough at times, and it can also be life-changing and rewarding. However difficult things are, I am with you for the journey.
Therapy can be a powerful way of making life more manageable – it can also make it more enjoyable. You might be having a hard time – perhaps you’re feeling confused, lost, lonely. Maybe you are going through difficulties in your relationships. Another reason you might come to therapy is to address how the past might be affecting your life. You may want to understand yourself more deeply. Therapy can be a place to talk about things you may have never shared before. I am trauma informed and able to support you through difficult experiences you may have not been able to share about yet.
It is important to experience connection and acceptance. It is important we can express ourselves. I offer space for you to be your fullest self in the therapy. This is especially important if you can’t share different parts of who you are in your daily life.
Here I offer acceptance and support as you navigate difficult feelings, emotions, and situations. The toughest things to explore can allow for new insight and change to happen. Therapy can be tough at times, and it can also be life-changing and rewarding. However difficult things are, I am there with you.
