Counselling is a space where a person can explore any issues or difficulties that are troubling or impacting their life. Person-Centred Counselling puts the client at the centre of the work, it follows a clients lead and helps them to process anything that they choose to bring to their sessions. Being listened to without judgement, may help a client to explore aspects of their life, whilst gaining insight into feelings or behaviour. Counselling may help to process and make sense of experiences, bringing peace or clarity.

My Counselling Service

I provide counselling services online, via zoom and from my counselling room in Bedford town centre. I currently offer short and long-term counselling to adults over 18.

Experienced with helping clients to manage and cope with: anxiety, depression, low self-worth, relationship problems, Illness (their own or someone else’s) traumatic experiences, bereavement, childhood neglect and abuse, work related difficulties and difficult emotions such as: grief, shame, stress, guilt, sadness, and anger.

My Therapeutic Approach

My counselling service is based predominantly on a person-centred model of counselling where I hold the belief that you are the real expert of your life. I have trust that everyone can be self-directing and can grow to reach their full potential. My aim is not to judge or advise, but to understand your experience.

To help you reach your full potential, I aim to provide the necessary person-centred conditions which are empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence (realness).

I will offer a safe and empathic environment where you can talk about any painful or difficult experiences.

My approach is to support you to listen to your own voice, so that you can start to work out what your own needs are, hopefully helping you to live a life that works best for you.

The Therapeutic Relationship

I am a counsellor, but also just another human being. I hope you experience me as warm and authentic within our therapeutic relationship.

Within the therapeutic relationship, I hope to create an environment where you feel understood, accepted, and comfortable to be completely ‘You.’

I feel honoured to be part of someone’s unique journey, to build trust, in the hope of creating meaningful connections. My belief being that a strong therapeutic relationship, along with the right conditions present, can be the most powerful tool in the healing process.
