ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Erin a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor who is passionate about helping individuals find more acceptance and sense of self.
Therapy can be incredibly healing and for some, life-changing. This can mean different things to different people. What I do offer all of my clients is a safe, warm, compassionate, confidential and non-judgemental space.
I believe that everyone has their own individual needs and I strive to work with each person to help them reach their goals.
I bring to my practice over 15 years of experience working in commercial businesses and working with young people. I have worked for several years for organisations and charities offering open-ended counselling, facilitated through NHS-referred and self-referred clients.
I am currently advancing my training with an accredited MSC in Integrative Psychotherapy (UKCP).
HOW I WORK
As an Integrative therapist, my purpose is to provide a safe and supportive environment for your personal growth and healing journey.
I understand that life can present various challenges and can sometimes feel overwhelming. Perhaps you are feeling stuck or held back by something beyond your control, be it a present or past experience. Alternatively, you may have noticed patterns or behaviours that are unhelpful. I offer a safe and supportive non-judgmental relationship where we can process your thoughts and feelings and find ways to support you in navigating through these challenges, developing a deeper understanding and acceptance of yourself.
Whether you are facing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, or a general sense that something isn’t quite right, I work integratively. This means that I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet your specific needs and preferences.
I view therapy as a collaborative partnership where we work together to navigate the challenges you face. This is a chance to explore what you may or may not know about yourself that could be holding you back and to identify what it is you want more of in your life, working with you towards achieving it. Exploring core beliefs, identifying healthier ways of relating and allowing more choice in your life.
In our sessions, I will listen attentively in an empathic confidential space.
