BA (Hons) MBACP.
I am a qualified Integrative counsellor with a counselling practice based in Sudbury, Suffolk close to other local towns such as Bury St Edmunds, Braintree, Halstead, Hadleigh, Haverhill, Newmarket.
I realise that if you are visiting my profile, you may be in search of some help.
Being able to talk to a non-judgemental counsellor in a safe environment can be a very therapeutic experience allowing difficulties to be faced and resolved.
Relationships don't always go as smoothly as we'd hoped. Things aren't always brilliant at work. There can be painful memories from the past or worries about the future. It could be bereavement, depression, drug or alcohol abuse, or simply overwork - but suddenly, it's not so easy to cope.
I offer counselling in a welcoming, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore your difficult experiences and feelings at your own pace.
As a qualified integrative counsellor I believe that we all think, feel and react in different ways. I work holistically by integrating different theories into my work with clients to produce a unique therapy adapted to suit your particular needs.
Integrative counselling has been described as “the process of bringing things together, with the implication of making something whole and new".
I offer counselling & psychotherapy for: abuse, addictions, adolescence, anger, anxiety, bereavement, bullying, childhood issues, confidence issues, depression, divorce, eating disorders, fear, grief, identity, lack of meaning in life, loneliness, loss, marriage (marital relations), mid-life crisis, panic attacks, parenting issues, personal growth, personal relationships, personality difficulties, phobias, post natal depression, post traumatic stress, self-development, self-esteem, self-harm, social phobia, stage fright, stress, suicidal thoughts, trauma, unresolved issues, weight loss, work issues and relationships.
As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I am bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy and subject to its Professional Conduct Procedure.
Location: my consulting room is located in central Cavendish on the North Essex/South Suffolk border. Cavendish is on the A1092 within easy access of Sudbury, Bury St Edmunds, Haverhill, Newmarket, Cambridge, Halstead and Braintree and the surrounding villages. Parking is free.
