Dip HE Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist
Individual Counselling for Adults.

We all know life can get difficult, and taking that first step to counselling can sometimes feel uncomfortable. My aim is to help you feel comfortable and relaxed, and to allow you to work at your own pace. Whatever has brought you to this point of seeking help, you do not have to do it alone. I am a qualified integrated counsellor and psychotherapist, and I draw on different approaches according to each individual client. I provide support and offer a warm and empathic approach as we explore any concerns you may have. I prioritise building a therapeutic relationship so that you can feel safe and relaxed.

I offer online counselling on an open-ended or short-term basis.

I also offer single-session therapy which is a brief and focused session working collaboratively to achieve a realistic goal.

In addition to counselling, I offer online transitional life coaching to support you through life’s changes.

I aim to create a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing your concerns and fears without feeling judged or misunderstood.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different approaches which give me the flexibility to work with clients with a range of different issues, including:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Loss / Bereavement

• Stress

• Difficult life transitions

• Relationship problems

I recently had several sessions with Rowena which have been very helpful— and I wish I’d had counselling earlier!

I’ve found talking about the issue has helped enormously in coming to terms with things, and specifically my acceptance of the situation and regaining a sense of gratitude and ongoing value. Rowena has been enormously helpful in this process and allowed me to work things out by myself but with suitable and necessary prompts and questions at times.

Whatever life’s ups and downs, talking with an independent professional, rather than stewing alone, is highly recommended.

Thank you Rowena, so much for your time and supportiveness. You are a great listener and encourager. It was such fun. I love your ideas, and your creativeness. You are an inspiration.

Counselling has made a profound difference to my life. Rowena has helped me to understand the various emotions that had silently shaped my personality for so long. The experience changed me (for the better!). I am now approaching life with a greater self-awareness and emotional resilience. The burdens that before, could feel overwhelming, no longer define me. I feel empowered to embrace life with clarity and confidence. Close friends have even commented on the difference in me.

I feel happier and lighter and counselling has helped me move on with my life, I no longer feel stuck. I am making decisions about my future, and I feel confident in my abilities. THANK YOU!

My experience of counselling was a very positive one. Rowena was very easy to talk to and listened attentively. I was worried about having to start with a new counsellor, having to start from scratch. After the first couple of sessions though I felt like she’d always worked with me. Thank you.
