About Empathy Corner

At Empathy Corner, I believe that everyone has the ability to lead a happy and fulfilling life. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that mental and emotional well-being are integral to overall health, and that therapy can be a powerful tool for achieving this balance.

I offer a variety of counselling services to meet the unique needs of our clients. I also offer specialised services for issues such as trauma, anger management, and grief and loss.

I am a certified integrative counsellor, holding a CPCAB qualification and membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). My affiliation with the BACP motivates me to adhere to their Ethical Framework, ensuring that my practice is both ethical and secure. 

  Integrative counselling involves training in various theoretical approaches, enabling me to tailor my methods to meet the specific needs of each client. If preferred, I can also focus on a single approach, such as person-centred therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), or psychodynamic therapy. The client maintains control over the direction of the session.

  I have experience working with children and utilize creative methods in my practice. Some clients may struggle to express their emotions verbally, and creativity can serve as an effective means of conveying feelings through actions rather than words.

In addition, I volunteer with Cruse Bereavement, supporting adults who are grieving, and with Holding On Letting Go, where I provide one-on-one support to children experiencing loss. 

My motivation to establish my own practice stems from a desire to offer a flexible service for clients who may find it challenging to commit to a rigid schedule of sessions. This flexibility allows clients to engage in counselling without the pressure of a fixed commitment, accommodating the unpredictable nature of life and work.  

 I recognize that initiating contact and speaking with someone unfamiliar can be daunting. I deeply value and respect the individuality of each client, as recognizing this uniqueness is essential to our collaborative work. Trust is a fundamental component of the therapeutic process, and I understand that building trust requires time and dedication, especially for those who may have difficulty trusting again.

 My purpose in life is to assist individuals on their personal journeys. Every client relationship is unique. I emphasize the word unique because that is how I will perceive you. It is a privilege for me to help you gain self-awareness and empower you to make your own life choices. Find strength through vulnerability.
