Trusted Counselling Services in Macclesfield
I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist offering both indoor and outdoor therapy sessions to support individuals in understanding their personal stories and achieving meaningful life changes. With a background in Social Anthropology and Government, I transitioned into the caring professions and completed a four-year advanced course in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy. My practice combines traditional therapeutic techniques with innovative outdoor approaches, including ecopsychology and elemental body work. I have accumulated nine years of experience through volunteering at Beacon Counselling and five years in private practice. My training in mindfulness and participation in professional development groups for outdoor therapists further enhance my ability to provide tailored support.I work with clients in Macclesfield, Bollington, and Pott Shrigley, offering sessions in both indoor and natural settings. My approach is grounded in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions. I have received positive feedback from clients who have experienced significant improvements in self-awareness, communication, and overall well-being. My commitment to ethical practice and continuous professional development ensures that I remain at the forefront of therapeutic innovation. I believe in the transformative power of therapy to help individuals break free from restrictive patterns and lead more fulfilling lives.
