Navigating Life's Relationships: What  Counselling Can Bring to Your Life

In a world where our connections with  others shape our existence, understanding  the dynamics within these relationships  becomes paramount. As an experienced  Systemic Therapist, I delve into the  intricate tapestry of human connections,  whether in familial bonds, romantic/marriage relationships, friendships, or the relationship we have with ourselves. 

Embark on a path of self-discovery and  relational understanding either through couples counselling/relationship counselling or individual counselling. Together, we can  navigate the complexities of life's  relationships, fostering positive change  and cultivate a more enriching existence.

​

At Vita Nova Counselling, I prioritize creating a warm and non-judgmental space where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings.

​

I understand that taking the first step towards counselling can be daunting, but please know that you are not alone. My flexible scheduling options—available in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings—are designed with you in mind, ensuring that you can find a time that works for your busy life to fit in counselling sessions with me. 

​

I am also proud to offer affordable counselling options specifically for key workers, recognizing the unique pressures and challenges faced by those who dedicate themselves to serving others. 

 

Let’s embark on this journey together. By exploring your emotions and experiences, we can work collaboratively towards personal growth, understanding, and healing. Your story matters, and I am here to listen.

​

Seeing Beyond the Surface

My focus in our counselling sessions extends beyond individual experiences to  explore the interactions between people. I  am committed to shedding light on the  contexts in which my clients navigate, sans  judgments or preconceived notions. After  all, we all live in relation to others,  embedded in communities, partnerships,  families, workplaces, and schools – all  influencing how we perceive and feel  about our lives. 
 

A Different Lens for Change 
I invite you to embark on a journey of self reflection, encouraging you to view your  life and emotions through a different lens.  It is within this transformative process that  meaningful change can occur. By fostering  an environment of understanding and  acceptance, my aim is to enhance  contentment with oneself and others,  paving the way for a more complete and  fulfilling life.

​

Credentials That Speak Volumes 
With more than 3000 plus practice hours and an undergraduate degree in Systemic Counselling and a Level 5 Certificate in Couples Counselling, my qualifications lay  a strong foundation for the work I do. In  addition to these credentials, I have further  honed my expertise through specialized  studies in: 
- Solution-Focused Therapy 
- Motivational Interviewing 
- Attachment in Adults and Couples
- Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytical Theory

- Transactional Analysis 

- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

​

Informed and Empathetic Practice 
I understand the  significance of creating a safe and  supportive space for my clients. Holding  an updated DBS and full insurance, I am  committed to ensuring a secure and  confidential environment for your  therapeutic journey.
