Profile

In order for counselling to be most beneficial it is important that the relationship with your counsellor feels right - so rather than just reading about me, come and meet me!

I am a qualified, experienced counsellor who believes that people and their problems really can change, that life can be more fulfilling and that counselling can really support making such changes.

I also have an Honours degree in psychology which underpins and supports my counselling practice and am a member of the British Psychological Society.

Most of us know that sharing a problem with someone often makes things feel lighter and more manageable. However, sometimes our difficulties feel too big, too small, too complicated, too personal or too much in general to share with friends or family. Sometimes others find it too difficult to listen or just want you to 'cheer up' or see things their way. At times like these counselling may be helpful.

Counselling offers you the confidential space to explore issues that are creating difficulty in living fully, whether it be a specific problem, general dissatisfaction, overwhelming feelings or thoughts, or loss of a sense of direction or purpose.

I offer a warm, non-judgemental, caring, supportive and respectful relationship in which, together, we can explore your difficulties and find some way of moving forward. I believe each person is an individual, therefore my counselling is tailored to meet your own needs.

Counselling is not a magic wand or a panacea for all life’s ills. Sometimes it can awaken old wounds and this can be a painful process. The maxim ‘sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better’ is often quoted by counsellors. However, as your counsellor, I will help you to pace yourself, be supportive and informative if the going gets tough and hold onto the belief that things will improve.

Counselling requires commitment and work on the part of the client as well as the counsellor. The more you can let your counsellor know of how things are for you, including how you experience the counselling and counselling relationship, the more likely you are to get the most from counselling.

Usually we work together on a weekly basis but sessions can be tailored to suit your needs and availability.

I work in open-ended counselling or am happy to contract for time-limited counselling.

I have regular supervision with a qualified supervisor and participate in a peer supervision group.

I am fully insured and work to BACP code of ethics.

Further Information

I see clients in my home next to the beautiful Surrey Hills in Westcott, less than five minutes from Dorking. It is a family home and there are pets in the house; whilst the pets do not join us for counselling it may not be suitable for people with extreme allergies. My counselling room is on the first floor and there is a small step into my house. If you are unable to climb stairs I have a smaller room downstairs which we can use; please let me know at the time of booking. There is plenty of parking available in the road.
