Profile

I'm a counsellor with extensive experience and a gentle, honest approach, providing a safe and confidential space for you to be heard in Babbacombe, Torquay.

So, how can counselling help? People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons, so you can talk in confidence about anything that is worrying you either from your present life or from your past. Sometimes significant life events that remain unresolved and come with us into the present, or indeed current events that have rocked us, can leave us feeling depressed, confused anxious and with low confidence or self esteem. Talking things through in confidence with a counsellor who can remain impartial, can help you to clarify your thoughts and feelings giving you the opportunity to see things from different perspectives.

Having had a broad, and at times difficult, experience of life myself helps me to have an empathetic understanding of so many difficulties that life throws up for us all at times.

What happens next? Why not get in touch to arrange an initial free no obligation session which will give you the opportunity to meet me and ask any questions you may have and discuss the best way forward for you.

You can contact me by email through this directory by using the link at the top of this page, or phone me on the above number. If you need to leave a message on voicemail, you can be confident that this is only accessible by me so your confidentiality will be secure.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I abide by their Ethical Framework and Guidelines for Good Practice, details of which can be found at www.bacp.co.uk.
