Profile

I value my clients as special and unique individuals. My core approach to counselling is person centred, which means that I'm empathic and non judgemental. As an integrative counsellor I'm able choose from different approaches to counselling, according to your individual needs.

Counselling can help people work through many issues and problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems etc. There is a comprehensive list at the bottom of the page.

I work from home and I see people individually, face to face on a weekly basis. I can also arrange counselling by e mail and telephone.
