Hello and Welcome
Hello, My name is Grace, and I am a counsellor based in Gateshead.
Thanks for taking the time to check out my page.

If you're considering counselling, you might want to know a bit more about me and how I can help you:
​​​
-
I am an Integrative Counsellor - this means I integrate different types of counselling to suit your needs depending on what feels like it would work best for you. It is not a one size fits all service.​
-
Before becoming a counsellor, I worked alongside the Police in various Victim Support Roles. As part of my Counselling Training I specialised in working with trauma and abuse and I now have a part time role working as a counsellor for Rape Crisis Tyneside and Northumberland.
-
​​I trained to be a counsellor after having counselling myself. I know first hand how daunting it can be to be considering counselling and I want to make it as comfortable a process as possible.
-
​ I am neurodivergent and have had to navigate the world by finding strategies that work for me. I aim to provide counselling and supervision in a way that embraces differences so that you feel that you have been heard and understood.
I believe counselling can be used as an effective tool to help you understand yourself, learn more about what you want and make decisions that help you get to where you want to be.
​I feel very privileged to work in a role that allows me to use my skills to help people live a more fulfilling life.
​I hope to help you believe in yourself so that you can reach your full potential.
