Making A Difference

Due to Covid-19 I offer Walk & Talk therapy as well as online counselling over Zoom.  Walk & Talk therapy has become increasingly popular so I will be offering this as a therapy option for the foreseeable future.

With over 25 years’ experience of Deaf culture and Deaf issues I offer therapy and counselling to support people with hearing impaired issues, their families and I sign to British Sign Language level 3.

I also specialise in working with people on the autism spectrum (diagnosed / undiagnosed) and those with Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, Dyspraxia.

If you have any questions or know someone who may benefit from counselling, please contact me for a free 30-minute call. It’s an opportunity to see how I can help you or your loved ones and we’ll go through a few questions to explore your therapy goals, expectations and questions.

These are the main therapy areas that I cover:

Disability focus

Working with Deaf people/hearing impaired

Working with parents who have Deaf children.

Working with people on the autism spectrum (diagnosed / undiagnosed)

Working with people with Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, Dyspraxia

Our lives are a journey. We constantly move forward, demanding new experiences, full of expectation and hope. But sometimes we just seem to – stop. And when we stop, things look wrong, we get confused, and we can start to spiral downwards.

For some people, it is the life events and situations that happen to everyone that seem too difficult to cope with. Life can go wrong through losing your job, suffering a relationship breakdown, developing a serious illness, or the death of someone close.

Others suffer through trying to escape the grip of addiction, frustrated by what they see as failure. Sometimes lives can seem broken because of psychological trauma or a bleak landscape of negative and overwhelming experiences.

For many it is simply the effort to make life work from one day to the next, resulting in loss of self-esteem and depression – mild, moderate, or severe.

Making the decision to seek help is one of the hardest things on that journey, but whatever the reason you decide to start therapy, Making a Difference Counselling is here to provide a warm, accepting, confidential and professional service.

My name is Simone. If you are wondering why talking to me would be different to talking to anyone else - a friend or family member for example – remember that as a professional counsellor I am impartial, objective, and non-judgemental. I want to know more about you and I want to help.  During our sessions, you will be able to talk freely to me about what has led you to seek support and you will come to know that you are not alone. Contacting me is the first step, a beginning, and by sharing your experience you will grow in strength and find clarity about your circumstances and problems.
