Reaching out for counselling is a big step towards taking control of a pain point in your life. Once you’ve made the decision to have professional therapy, great, now what do you do?

You can look on the various directories for qualified counsellors in your area, you will find thousands of profiles that you can browse through and that can be overwhelming. Who do you choose? Someone you like the look of? Someone with a long list of qualifications? Someone who is local to you or someone who works online from anywhere in the UK? What about someone who is cheaper than others in the area? Or someone who works specifically with the main reason you would like to have counselling?

All of these are valid, you may feel drawn to someone in particular or you may abandon the search and ask a friend for recommendations.

Again, all valid.

Some of the benefits of working with me, specifically, for your therapy:

1. I specialise in working with abuse and trauma survivors: any gender or identity.
2. I am a registered trauma therapist which means every minute of our therapy together is focused on preventing you being re-traumatised by events in your life.
3. I use trauma-informed techniques to first create safety and resilience before we delve into events that led you to therapy.
4. I work at your pace, the number of sessions we can have together is not limited to a short-term solution, if that is what you need.
5. I work locally to Leeds from a therapy space in Morley, LS27 with free parking AND I also work online with clients from all over the UK.
6. I do have a list of professional qualifications that have been checked and validated on the main counselling directories in the UK.
7. I am registered as a Covid-conscious therapist with wide awareness around how the pandemic has affected, and still continues to affect, individuals and communities.

So, if you are wanting to work a psychotherapist who ticks all of the boxes above, get in touch. Check out my Facebook and Instagram profiles to get a feel for me as your therapist. Use the Contact form on the website to email me and we can book a free discovery call.

I look forward to hearing from you.
