Swimming against the tide
Welcome to Against The Tide Counselling. My journey to becoming a counsellor was driven by a deep-seated belief in the power of self and a commitment to improving mental health. I’m here to offer a supportive, caring space where you can explore your unique path, even if it feels like you’re swimming against the current.
My inspiration to help
I've always felt a little 'different,' like a fish swimming against the tide. This personal journey ignited my passion for supporting others, especially neurodiverse clients, to embrace their true selves. My love for nature and the seaside also inspires my approach, bringing a sense of calm and grounding to our sessions.
A unique and creative approach
What makes my counselling special is the integration of creative skills if so required, alongside a non-judgemental and open-minded perspective. I am always learning, continually expanding my knowledge to better support you. You can expect a collaborative space where your unique story is met with understanding and innovative tools to help you navigate your challenges.
Your calm, safe, and heard space
Ensuring you feel calm, safe, and truly heard is at the heart of every session. I practice active listening, offer reassurance, and provide ample time and space for you to explore your thoughts. I always check for understanding, ensuring our work progresses at your pace, focusing on your agenda from your unique perspective. Your comfort is paramount.
"Your journey starts with acceptance"
I want you to know that I am very accepting, empathetic, warm, friendly, and utterly committed to confidentiality. You can feel confident and ready to start your journey with me, knowing you'll be met with genuine understanding and unwavering support.
