Counsellor Profile
I am a chartered Counselling Psychologist with extensive experience of working psychotherapeutically with people in the NHS and in particular, but not exclusively, with people who have been diagnosed/labelled with personality disorder. I am in private practice and I have worked as a group facilitator for MIND with men who are experiencing anxiety and depression.

I am concerned that the financial cost of being in therapy may deter some people from entering therapy; therefore my philosophy regarding my fees for therapy, is that it depends on the client's financial circumstances. Consequently my fees are negotiable.
