Hi, I'm Haleigh. The first thing you might want to know about me is that I love what I do! Counselling opened doors for me I never thought possible, and I valued the process and how it changed my life so much that I decided to train as a counsellor myself.

​

My Story

 

I turned to counselling in my early 20s to get support for what I thought was anxiety. I had read a lot of self-help books and felt fairly self-aware, but I couldn't seem to break the patterns. I knew that I was operating from an anxious attachment style. I'd learnt to put other's first, and I was disconnected from my own wants and needs. Through my counselling sessions and then my own training, I learnt to move my attachment style from anxious and needing reassurance from others, to a more secure feeling where I could rely on my own thoughts, wants and needs. That's what I want for you, too. I aim for our counselling sessions to feel like the safe space you might need to build your own secure foundation.

My Training

​

I trained in Therapeutic Integrative Counselling, which means I was trained in lots of different therapeutic approaches. I decided to qualify in an integrative approach becuase I believe that there is no 'one-size fits all' approach to a therapy session. My training and experience working with young people and adults means that our work together will be informed by your experiences to suit you as an individual. 

​

The work I do with my clients tends to be long-term, meaning I'll be there to support you over months or years. I find this allows us to take a gentle approach to our sessions together, giving us the space and time to work together to support you to make the changes you would like to make in your life.

I am fully insured and a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists.
