Hi I'm Gina and I have over 20 years frontline experience working with those who have experienced trauma and loss. Healing from trauma is a journey and it's important to go at a pace that's comfortable for you. I will provide a safe space for you to explore and process your experiences. You are not alone in this. Together, we will work on building coping strategies. Finding healthy ways to manage your emotions and reactions can make a significant difference in your life. Understanding how trauma and loss has affected you can be a powerful tool in moving forward. We can explore this in a way that feels safe for you.

I will work to build a trusting relationship with you which will allow you to feel comfortable discussing your experiences and emotions. You will develop resilience and self-compassion as you go through the healing process. I work with those that have anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, loss or any other challenges such as work-related stress.

Making contact with me may seem daunting and it can feel like a step into the unknown. It's natural to be fearful about reaching out for help. Everything is confidential and I am able to offer support and guidance through the process of seeking therapy. It is a personal decision you should feel comfortable making and you can be yourself without judgment.

The therapy is all about you and what you want to talk about. I use different types of therapy which will be personalised for you. You will see yourself as someone that can change, even if you feel it is unchangeable. You will be accepted for who you are, not who you feel you should be which is healing.

I update my training on a regular basis and use it in my day to day practice, adapting it to the unique needs of each client I work with. I use skills such as Art Therapy and inner child work.

Prior to qualifying as a Counsellor, I worked in the NHS for over 20 years. This has helped me greatly in my understanding of the various problems we all face such as short and long term illnesses, bereavement, loss and trauma. I also have an understanding about work-related stress and how this can affect you.
