Willow Cottage Counselling
A quiet space for growth
Experience
I have extensive experience working with individuals facing complex emotional and behavioral challenges. My work spans supporting those who have harmed others, guiding them toward accountability and positive change through structured interventions, cognitive reframing, and grounding techniques.
In addition to this, I have provided therapeutic support to carers, helping them navigate the emotional demands of their role. My private practice has allowed me to work with a diverse range of clients, including those experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, identity struggles, bereavement, academic and family pressures, as well as those recovering from trauma and abuse.
A significant part of my work involves collaborating with professionals across various disciplines, including social workers, psychologists, legal experts, and healthcare providers. By harnessing their expertise, I can offer a more holistic and informed approach to support my clients effectively.
