Counsellor Profile

Hello, I am a qualified counsellor with many years' experience of helping people with their problems including bereavement, depression, marital problems, problem drink and drug use, work-related stress and childhood abuse.

I see individuals or couples and have access to counselling rooms in a number of towns locally including Chesham, Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted and Tring.

You may find counselling helpful if you would like to: develop skills and self confidence; adjust to changed circumstances; think through difficult decisions; understand yourself better; deal with problems thoughts, behaviour or relationships; or face painful issues from the past.

My approach is gentle, supportive and respectful. I work with every individual as a whole person, including their feelings, thoughts and behaviour as well as their inner "heart". Because every person is different, I draw on a variety of different styles in counselling to respond to what you need.

One to one or couples counselling continues for as long as you feel it is useful. Sessions are normnally booked once a week for 50 minutes although it may be possible to arrange fortnightly or extra appointments to suit your circumstances.

I also offer "Empower", a six session course on emotions and relationships which can be tailored to the needs of your small group.

If you would like to know more, please call 01296 660 509 for a no-obligation initial appointment where you will have the opportunity to decide whether working with me could be right for you.
