Profile

When choosing a counsellor it's more important that you find someone you feel totally comfortable with, rather than the particular theories that they use.

I work integratively which means that I use many different counselling theories. This enables me to work flexibly and creatively to meet the individual needs of my clients. This can all be discussed in our first session which is FREE OF CHARGE.

I have a private practice in Hartfield working with both individuals, couples and older children from 11 to 18 years. I work closely with GP's at a local surgery who regularly refer clients to me. Working as a couple counsellor and also with teenagers are areas of counselling that I'm particularly passionate about.

I offer a caring, empathic and non-judgemental environment in which we can discuss any issue you may wish to bring. Together we can look at the choices available to you.
The counselling models that I work with include; Person Centred, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
