WELCOME TO FORWARDS THERAPY

I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor working in a person-centred and relational way. I provide a safe and supportive space where you can discover more about yourself and your situation in an environment where you feel heard, accepted and understood, without judgement. This helps to create a genuine and inclusive relationship where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, giving you the opportunity to develop inner strength and resources, helping you to feel better able to navigate the complexities of life.

Whether you are finding things difficult at the moment, or feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, confused, sad, angry or any other emotion, you can find a way through and discover how to move forwards. Sometimes we have to become unstuck to move forwards and together we can create a space where you feel comfortable to do this, helping you find some resolve and peace, making your life more manageable at a pace that suits you.

A BIT ABOUT ME

Experienced Counselling Professional

I have a diploma in therapeutic counselling and have years of experience working in mental health. I work online and in a dedicated counselling practice in Poole, Dorset and a counselling room in Ringwood, Hampshire. I specialise in working with people with anxiety, addiction and neurodivergence. I also work with depression, loss and trauma. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of our time together as we work towards healing with compassion and understanding in a non-judgmental way.

I am an registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and I adhere to their ethical framework which guides and governs my work. As part of this I have regular supervision and participate in continued professional development. I am fully insured and DBS checked.

In person sessions 50 minutes at £52.
I have some reduced cost availability for low incomes so please get in contact if this is something you would require.

ONLINE COUNSELLING SESSIONS
Coming to counselling can be daunting and not always accessible so I offer online sessions which can be accessed anywhere on your device. It is important that during these sessions you are somewhere confidential and free from disturbances so you can get the most from our time together.
