Empower Yourself With Distant Light Counselling
My Service
Since I started working as a counsellor I have specialised in helping people who have experienced sexual trauma. I have worked with anxiety, depression, anger, abusive relationships, infidelity, trust issues, guilt, shame, emotional/physical/sexual abuse (recent and historical), PTSD, bereavement (including pets), loss of significant relationships, low mood, sexual identity, racism, discrimination, isolation and so on. I work with 13yrs upwards and adults of both genders, covering indivduals and couples counselling.
We will work together to identify and achieve your personal aims for therapy, by becoming aware of your coping strategies and strengths, whilst taking the time to listen and work with the issues that are causing you distress, anxiety, and stress.
It is essential to understand that therapy is not a magic wand and therapy is a two way process that requires participation and investment from both client and therapist.
I take great pride in the progress and success of my clients, and look forward to helping you. Get in touch to start your journey towards the distant light.

Person-Centred Approach
Support That Makes a Difference
I work at the clients own pace, navigating through their issues that they bring to sessions, creating a safe, non-judgemental and understanding space to talk. Supporting the client through their healing process, using person-centred therapy and solution focused therapy, over a long or short term basis.
The process is a positive investment in self-development to help clients to move forward with their lives and make positive changes that are right for them.
