Hello, I'm Agnes
I am a registered BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist with many years experience, working with a wide range of clients in charities/voluntary organisations, bereavement recovery, and the Global Employee Assistance Program. I approach my work with clients with integrity, compassion, and an awareness and commitment to ethical and competent practice.
I believe that primarily my role as a therapist is to help empower my clients as they discover, face, and accept their reality, grieve their losses, and identify and take responsibility for their needs by accessing the necessary resources to help them move forward and live more satisfying and rewarding lives.
I would describe myself as a humanistic counsellor who uses various techniques to create the best care for your specific needs so that you can use our therapy sessions to talk about whatever you need to.
The work we do together will involve me helping you to identify and move toward developing self-awareness and what may be useful to you as we go along and tailoring the work accordingly.
There are many reasons that you might be drawn to the idea of seeking therapy.
It may be a recent/current crisis, depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties, patterns of thinking, and behaviours that may be holding you back from reaching your full potential.
Many people find their struggles too broad or confusing to place in any particular box, so you don't need to be absolutely clear about your reasons to access therapy.
I have experience supporting clients with a wide range of personal and work-related issues.
