Angela Walker

Hello! I am an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor, with over 20 years of experience working in social services, voluntary and health settings, with people facing significant challenges in their lives.  I recognise that making the initial step to find a counsellor takes courage and feels like a 'leap of faith' to trust a complete stranger.  I will provide a safe and confidential space for you to talk about your worries and struggles.  I offer my humility and non-judgemental care, time to simply be yourself and be truly heard.  I view each person with whom I work, as a unique individual, so the counselling relationship and the way we work together is distinctive to each partnership.  

I am guided by a number of different theoretical models in my counselling style including Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural and Person-centred practice.  These help me to work in a flexible way, being led by you.  It may be that you are seeking to find purpose and meaning, connection and fulfilment.  We can work together to move towards your goals.  You may feel the weight of your emotions or pain of your trauma/loss like a heavy suitcase that you always carry with you.  Counselling can provide a route to lightening that loud.  I can be alongside to  assist you as you come to understand yourself more fully, exploring the challenges you are currently facing, until you are where you want to be.
