I can help you process these feelings and explore your responses, along with working with you to create new goals and a new future
How I work
​
I create a relaxed space where you can feel safe, where you are seen and heard. You are always in control of what is discussed and explored, I am hear to walk the journey with you and hold you throughout the time we work together.
This ensures your reach your goals while feeling safe, and able to talk and understand how you have reached your current situation, while learning how to move forward.
Counselling is a supportive talking therapy designed to help you gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It equips you with valuable tools to navigate challenges you face and find effective solutions. Additionally, counselling fosters a deeper understanding of your self and helps you establish and maintain healthy boundaries.
Couple counselling seeks to open channels of communication between you, to provide resources to help think about how you and your partner respond to situations differently, and to help you find ways of accepting and celebrating those differences, creating ways to incorporate them in to your relationship.

I've not had good experiences with counselling before. But Judith provides space in which I feel heard and understood. When I struggled she entered that space with me and we turned to more creative activities.
I find myself speaking freely in our appointments now
Testimonies
Graham 69
I needed support but I couldn't express how.
Judith sat patiently with me, bringing in options and activities that helped me build trust in her and that she always held my best interst in her hands, with respect and acceptance. Due to this consistancy I have been able to share my most painful experiences and she has held me in that and helping me work through it,and helping me understand it doesn't need to define my future.

“I worked with Judith throughout my own counselling training, she was fantastic at providing a safe space where I felt held and supported enough to explore my issues. She was able to adapt her approach to suit our work demonstrating her knowledge and experience.
Judith is a warm friendly counsellor, with whom I never felt judged, was always open and willing to help with my training and gently challenged me where needed. I have learnt so much about the counselling world and myself from our work together.”
