At Calm Folk Counselling we aim to guide you through your journey, empowering you to be you!
Hello, do you ever feel as if your mind is racing with unwanted thoughts? Are you anxious more often than you would like? Do you experience a sense of feeling overwhelmed and are uncertain what to do next? Do you feel that you are not good enough and lack a sense of achievement or purpose in life?
I can help you. 
By helping you to first of all slow down and gain space to breathe. Then by helping you to recognise how you feel, and link this to the thoughts that you have you can become more aware of yourself and how you behave. Then being able to identify whether those thoughts are helpful and so gain greater control over how you think. 
This will help you to feel less overwhelmed and to trust yourself more. And so feel less anxious about life and more positive about yourself.

The boring stuff is that I’ve been a qualified therapist since 2012 and qualified supervisor since 2015 (Counselling BA Hons.; Supervision PGCert.; Cognitive Behaviour Therapy PGDip.) and am registered with the BACP (MBACP) and Accredited with the BABCP.

The important stuff is that I hold qualifications in both Person Centred (Counselling)and Cognitive Behaviour (CBT) therapies, drawing on these and my expertise gained from my experience in the field of mental health to benefit people who choose to work with me.  Throughout my journey I’ve worked with a diverse range of people, primarily those considered as adults, who have felt that for whatever reason they have been unable to cope with the stresses and pressures of the modern world. Sometimes folk find that they require some nourishment for their personal growth, and I am honoured to be able to provide this in a cooperative and kindly way. 

Some folk need  support exploring traumas resulting from past or present issues, and some feel the need for assistance in managing long term conditions that cause them emotional distress. Others may experience anxiety and worry about what the future holds, or simply leaving the house. My calm accepting manner enables people to build a healthy secure relationship where any concern can be fully explored.
