What do you love most about your job?
Since completing a degree, I have over twenty years' experience in various roles as an English teacher in Colombia, a Spanish Teacher at a secondary school, Employment Facilitator, Careers Adviser, Carer for a terminally ill family member, Lighter Life Group Counsellor, NHS Counsellor and Private Counsellor, Coach and Hypnotherapist. I find it rewarding to work closely with individuals on various health and emotional issues to promote their wellbeing and achieve their goals.
What inspired you to start your own business?
By using a blend of counselling, coaching and by being in tune with what you are feeling, you can then take time to choose how you wish to respond and behave. You may even decide that you don't have the resources right now to make the changes you wish for, or you may start a process of accepting yourself as a fallible human being who does not get things right all of the time. That process of understanding may help you to live more comfortably with yourself.
I work as an ‘integrative’ counsellor, so I draw on and blend different types of therapy including Transactional Analysis, Solution Focussed Techniques, CBT, focussing and mindfulness. All of my work is based on non-directive person-centred counselling. This means that I may invite you to carry out tasks between sessions but you will take the lead on what is discussed in each session. I respect your right to choose your own direction in life and aim to allow you to become an expert on who you are by becoming more aware of what is happening inside of you.
My aim is for you to feel safe, good enough just as you are and to enable you to take risks with the issues you would like to work on. Under these conditions of safety and understanding, you can explore your inner world so that you can reassess your choices. From there you can move towards accepting or changing your perspectives and behaviours. I will offer you plenty of time to reflect and consider your choices and you may also become aware of your resilience at responding to an uncertain world. It may be that sometimes I will challenge something that you say to enable you to consider new perspectives.
