How I can help you

Employment Support

Many employees work in environments where they hear distressing stories and sometimes feel frustrated, lost or distressed by what they hear. They may also be dealing with their own difficulties, and often this can result in staff members being unable to fulfil their role to the best of their potential.

 

NAVIGATING LIFE provides a safe space for staff to:-

  • talk confidentially about anything affecting their work

  • explore and find their solutions within company practices

  • improve their recognition of their stress triggers

  • improve communication skills.

​

The benefits to an employer include:​

  • showing you care about the wellbeing of your staff

  • reducing the likelihood of sickness absence

  • improved morale

  • improved communication.​

​

Counselling

NAVIGATING LIFE can deliver sessions for individuals, couples and groups.

​

INDIVIDUALS

I work to the person-centred model whereby I provide a safe confidential space to listen to you and help YOU find YOUR solutions. Counselling can be challenging and may open up previously suppressed feelings. I will work at your pace and help you focus on your feelings sometimes by working more creatively. YOU set the agenda and I will be beside you.

​

COUPLES

I provide couples counselling  and am trained in the RELATE model. If you are experiencing difficulties in your relationship please contact me

 

I offer a free 30 minute initial assessment for all clients and sessions thereafter are £50, payable in advance. 

​

SUPERVISION

I offer supervision to qualified counsellors and students; my fees are £60 per 1.5 hours for qualified counsellors, and £50 per1.5 hours for students.

Training with Navigating Life

​

I qualified as a counsellor in 2009 and then went on to gain qualifications in couples’ work and supervision. I have supervised couples’ counsellors with Relate, I have worked in both the voluntary sector and in the NHS.

I gained my teaching qualification in 2010, and I really enjoy the thrill of walking into a new group and not knowing what is going to happen. Counsellors generally are thirsty for knowledge, and I recall my most influential tutors instilling a sense of excitement, apprehension, and most of all enthusiasm to embark on the next stage of my development. My hope is that I can do that for someone else.

I offer a 6 day Certificate Level Introduction to Couples’ Counselling, and workshops on many counselling related topics including: -

Why Supervision Matters

The Masks We Wear

Recognising Anxiety and Depression

Active Listening

Working Creatively with Grief

Inner Child Workshop.

If there is something specific you would like to explore in a workshop, please contact me and I can develop a bespoke workshop for you
