Who I work with
I am passionate about working with Mums, parents who have children with additional needs and people who care for someone else. Also, I have a particular interest in Counselling people who are going through the Transplant process.
Caring for others, either as a parent or in an unexpected Caring role, is often something that is undervalued in society. It can form a massive, sometimes overwhelming, part of your life.
People often ask me if I work with people who aren’t parents or carers – and yes, I am very happy to and I often do. I always have an initial chat on the phone before taking on new clients, so we can make sure that my skill set matches what you’re wanting to look at.
Important note
It’s important to understand that I do not offer a ‘blue light’ emergency service, and am only contactable within limited office hours. Session times are booked and planned in advance. Therefore, if you are at a stage in your life where you think you need more urgent and frequent help, you might require a different type of support right now.
If you are experiencing severe depressive symptoms and/or suicidal thoughts, please discuss this with your doctor immediately. The kind of Counselling I offer is not suitable for supporting anyone in crisis or with severe Postnatal Depression or any psychotic illness.
