Currently I work as part of a team of counsellors in Leeds city centre, for an Employee Assistance Program and in my own small private practice. My approach is a relational one and by being compassionate, warm and showing humanity, together we will work towards understanding your challenges, uncover strengths and move towards your desired goal. Before becoming a counsellor, I've always worked in caring roles in education and in multi-cultural areas. Together we will work through this in a quiet confidential environment either indoors or out in the fresh air, whatever suits you. If you are looking for a counsellor who is non-judgemental and is ethical in their practice then you have found the right person. Walk and talk therapy I also offer walk-and-talk therapy sessions, walking side by side in nature as this can be more comfortable than sitting in a traditional counselling setting. If you’re wondering what counselling outdoors could do for your mind and mood, I’d be delighted to walk and talk with you.
