About

Do you have a sense of overwhelm and stuckness?

Are these feelings clouding your thinking and preventing you from living your best life?

Do you wish someone or something could just come along and move you forward?

I have experience of using both counselling and tools within NLP to move clients to a more rational and less heightened state.

Relationship and Marriage Counselling

We approached Faye for counseling as a couple with the aim of rebuilding trust in our relationship and to make us stronger as a couple. We completed 6 sessions and from the start we were made to feel comfortable. We both felt she really listened to our fears and thoughts and tailored her counseling to fit our particular situation. She uses a range of techniques including NLP and we were so glad we went with such an experienced professional. Her flexibility with scheduling was also very much appreciated. We would recommend Faye to any couple looking for support. We now see the bigger picture and have great tips to use moving forward. Many thanks to you Faye! More...

I've now completed 6 sessions with Faye and she has made such. difference in my life. What I love is the way that Faye suggests practical exercises to implement in my everyday life in order to reframe my outlook on situations. Faye's holistic approach has worked to attack issues or situations from multiple angles which really has made a difference in my life. I'm very grateful and although I temporarily need to take a break for work, I'll definitely get more sessions booked in the future. More...

From the first it was like conversing with an old friend; one you never knew you had or needed. I felt at once comfortable and comforted and am happy to continue on armed and ready; but with the safety net of her wise counselling.
Thank you.

I really enjoy the counselling given by Faye. She has shown a lot of empathy always offering alternative methods to cope with the less positive moments of my life. I have learnt a lot about myself and why I am the way I am and I think that is the biggest compliment I can give to Faye.

Thank you so much.

I was feeling anxious and quite upset with the way I felt my life was going, and so decided I need to speak to a therapist. I found Faye online, and she very promptly contacted me. After a short discussion on the phone she felt confident she would be able to help me.

I had 7 sessions with Faye, and I cannot thank her enough for them!

Faye taught me mechanisms to help me ground myself when I start to feel overwhelmed, and showed me how to really align with who I am.

I feel much more confident, and happier, and more than anything realise my own self worth.

If how I was feeling resonates with how you’re feeling, I can’t recommend Faye enough to help you feel better and stronger.

She is very warm, easy to talk to and very professional. She gauges an understanding of who you are very quickly, and helps you realise all the very best things about yourself.

Thank you Faye for listening!

Faye has been an absolute solace in my journey over the past few months. She has taught me amazing techniques that have already become a habit within my everyday routine. I cannot put it into words and even begin to describe the amount she has helped me with my issues regarding my family and my confidence issues. She is so great at listening to your concerns and working with you to deal with any issue you have. I love the way she made me feel so in control and helped me reframe my thinking and attitude towards anything I do. She is so knowledgeable in her field and super friendly, which made me feel so comfortable and relaxed - it normally takes me ages to open up to people and I felt an instant comfortability when I spoke with Faye. I honestly feel like I can tackle any issue with all the techniques she has given me, so thank you so much Faye. More...

I cannot express how pleased I am with Faye, I messaged her a few weeks ago in regards to my son who i was extremely concerned about due to on going anxiety problems , he needed help as it was seriously affecting his day to day life.
Faye managed to fit him in a couple of days after contact as my son could only do evenings, she has already helped him improve on how to deal with his problem, she not only give him the tools to help but she is also getting down to what is actually causing it, my son finds it hard to talk about his feelings but with Faye he has had no problem, he said he feels that she listens and her tools are helping him, I am still continuing with Faye and as long as he needs her , a MASSIVE THANK YOU FAYE XXX

Faye is a thoughtful and effective counsellor who quickly understands the nature of a problem or problems.
She was able to give me a lot of extremely good advice and feedback regarding my own issues.
She also outlined a number of mental techniques to be used alongside the advice.
I am feeling better now, though many of the things we talked about will take some time to fully process, but that is the nature of the game.
So yes, i can definitely recommend Faye as a counsellor.

As someone who works in the field of Personal Development, finding someone who thinks along the same lines of expansion and self evaluation can be tough.

I found working with Faye strengthening for me. It gave me a more wholesome view of my situation allowing me to be more open to solution creation and implication in practice.

I call on Faye's skills on a regular basis and within minutes we manage to see the way ahead. I love her easy manner and soft but firm patience the place to find strength for my next action.

Counselling

As a 52 yr old woman, who has seen a few counsellors over the years, dealing with childhood grief and witnessing and experiencing a traumatic and abusive relationship, I was aware of the helpful nature of simply talking with someone outside of the situation. When I met Faye my eyes opened to many helpful and useful techniques to reframe these negative experiences. I feel stronger and believe in myself more, having discovered ‘I am Enough’. The biggest strength was in discovering I am an Empath, something I had never heard of before. Instead of being labelled as I had been all my life as too sensitive, too emotional, too anxious I now know, embrace and accept it is a gift to have a big heart; I just needed to learn to put boundaries in place to guard it. Feeling less vulnerable I can let things go a bit easier, being more aware of my tendency to black and white thinking. All the best to you if you choose Faye as your counsellor -you will find a truly caring, genuine and empathetic support person in her. Thankyou Faye, I’m embracing the greys. More...

Q&As

I absolutely love monitoring and watching people find peace and resolve in their lives. Enabling them to move forward and lead better lives.

I realised that I have always had a natural flair for being able to connect at a deep level with people and decided to invest in training as a counsellor as well as NLP and hypnotherapy.

I have not looked back and continue to both enjoy and find feel fulfilled in moving my clients forward.

I do not believe in shoe horning all clients into one particular discipline. Our resolves need to be as individual as we are. My particular style is all about truly experiencing the client over the first few sessions and only then tailor make a programme for their 'therapuetic' journey.

I am more than happy to provide on line zoom sessions. Covid has proven that the same results are achievable in terms of my practice.

I went totally on line during both lockdowns and was able to provide my clients with the same service and was able to be further flexible with my availability.

I also provided covid specific anxiety help for those who needed it.

Services

I am extremely passionate about counselling, with over 23 years of experience in the sector. This experience includes numerous different sectors and organisations including, but not limited to, alcohol abuse, bereavement counselling and the Middlesex Association for the Blind.

I specialise in person-centred counselling, with significant experience in cross-cultural environments, as well as working with couples, addiction, stress, anxiety, young people, anorexia, bulimia. I am also trained in NLP ( Neuro Linguistic Programming), as well as being a hypnotherapist and time line therapist. This ensures that I remain well rounded and provide my clients with a multi faceted and 'tools' orientated experience.

In my daily practice I draw upon many disciplines, and my counselling style is tailor made for each individual client. I believe that as each interaction with a client presents a unique set of challenges and hurdles. To deal with this I take an open approach to the first session, trying to understand fully the clients unique challenges and implement methods I feel would work most effectively. This enables me to tailor future sessions to ensure the required results.

My ability to use my perception, intuition and judgement, allows me to enable my clients to seek their own resolve. This empowers them to create inner confidence in themselves, using tools that will equip them to navigate any challenges in the future. I look forward to using the skills that I have developed to date to create a positive impact in your unique challenges.
