Counselling is a talking therapy which offers people the opportunity to look at what is causing difficulties in their lives. Offering the client the facility to explore their issues gives them the chance to change and live better lives. I'm not there to give you advice or tell you what to do but I will LISTEN and engage you in a conversation that will help to clarify aspects in your life which may be causing you distress or confusion.

I am a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor committed to the well being of individuals who perhaps is ......

Feeling unable to cope

Feeling depressed/stressed or anxious

Having relationship difficulties with partner/colleague/employer/friend etc

Struggling with irritating persistent thoughts and needs help to unravel them

Suffering bereavement / loss of a loved one

Suffering bereavement / loss of a much loved pet

Facing life changes

Yes, counselling can help with all these and more.  Choosing the right counsellor is most important as I believe the success of counselling is based upon a successful relationship between counsellor and client and this is why I offer a FREE 30 min session to enable both of us to see if we can work together.

I trained in the Person Centred modality which puts the client in the centre of the relationship, a relationship where the counsellor and client are equals and where we will work together to explore the difficulties you are suffering.

My consulting rooms offer a safe, private, confidential space where you will receive respect and what you say will not be judged.

During our work together I may use skills and techniques from other approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in which I am currently studying for my Diploma, to help you explore those issues which are currently troubling you and affecting your everyday life.

A recent addition to my experience is that of couple counselling.
