Support Available

​Over time, I've also gained experience working with depression, low self-esteem / confidence, bereavement, self-harm, suicidal ideation and intent, abuse (physical, emotional, spiritual, sexual), life changes/ transitions, cultural and religious issues, LGBTQ+ issues, fertility issues, financial issues, procrastination, unhelpful habits, and burnout.

My training and ongoing professional development means I can work ethically and effectively with adults and teenagers, having gained qualifications to work with both groups. I've been counselling individuals for the past three and a half years, partly within schools, the charity sector, and private practice. I'm now working full-time in private practice. 

I work with a variety of counselling modalities to support you as effectively as I can. I find building authentic, compassionate, and trusting relationships with clients to be particularly important. I also enjoy working creatively at times should the need arise. I adapt to what you're comfortable with and your pace of working, as well as setting goals for therapy if that helps you.

To help you get to know me a little better in terms of my background, I grew up in a religious household and therefore have a deep understanding of the challenges and expectations involved in this. I'm no longer religious, but would consider myself to be spiritual. I started off studying and working within the legal sector, before changing to the education sector. I have experience as a teaching assistant, tutor, trainee teacher, and counsellor within schools. Please reach out to me if you have any questions about me or my experience at lastinglightcounselling@proton.me
