Counselling (in person and online)
It's really important to recognise when we need some extra support. It can also be scary and hard to admit.
I have worked with numerous clients over the years who have experienced issues with anxiety, depression and other mental health symptoms; self harm; trauma; and drug and alcohol issues.
I am clear that you are the expert on you, but that I can work with you to make better sense of your world and your story, and think about how you can make healthy decisions to achieve the future you deserve.
I offer all my clients empathy, discretion, humour (weird as that may sound!), and support.
I work with both adults and teenagers.
Talk to me about Walk and Talk Therapy if the idea of sitting in an office is not appealing!
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of fixing that which is broken with gold, making it stronger and more beautiful
Supervision
I understand the importance of having good support to help us check and balance as we practice. I believe that a supervisory relationship needs to be built around good rapport, trust and safety, which will allow both space and challenge. I am passionate about seeing new practitioners feel supported and watch them grow.
I have completed the Certificate in Supervision Skills for Health and Social Service Professionals.
Training/Corporate Wellbeing sessions
For several years I was the Learning and Development Co-ordinator for a leading addiction provider. During my time in that role I developed and delivered multiple workshops on issues such as boundaries, mental health, clinical risk management etc.
I can offer workshops or presentations to groups of professionals wanting to better support their staff, health professionals wishing to better identify or manage mental health and substance abuse issues, or groups of students needing to better understand the impact of substance abuse on them and those around them.
Available workshops include managing anxiety; intro to mental health and addiction; managing change; substance use and abuse. Talk to me to about your specific needs and I can develop an appropriate workshop for your team.
