About me

This is a time of anxiety of all of us, living with uncertainty and seeing family/friends in the same ways we have in the past.  It can feel very isolating or very stressed stuggling with working from home, managing children and not having the de-stress places such as the pub or cinema to go to. It can leave people feeling depressed and de-motivated, especially if you are living alone or struggling with not having the personal contact of people around you as working from home or been made redundant or furloughed.  I am offering my services remotely at this time so that means that they are accessible and I can continue to support anyone who needs help at this time.  With COVID 19 situation it can bring up questions about the meaning of life, what I am doing and is this the life I want?  These are all questions that we can look at together.

Sometimes in life we all need a little bit of help, whether it is to work through a problem or to gain greater understanding of yourself or it could be that a life event has impacted on you. This is where I can support you as I am not part of your immediate circle.  It can be around certain things that are happening in our lives, such as relationship breakdowns, anger, depression, anxiety or abuse or a more general feeling about wanting to learn and explore more about who we are, such as how did I become the person I am or where do I want to go in my life?  I am currently doing all my sessions remotely, so it doesn't matter about the location.

My training is a transpersonl/intergrative therapist which means that I have knowledge of many approaches which I tailor depending on the person I am seeing.  I am certainly not a 'one type of therapy' suits all type of therapist. I work with individuals to explore these issues and see therapy as a place where you can discover and grow in a supportive relationships. Therapy is for me, a creative process, and together we use this to help you. It is not about me giving advice but working with you so that you can find the answers yourself.

I also offer some low-cost supervision for students in counselling/psychotherapy training as part of my supervisor diploma training.

I work for a couple of organisations and in private practice.  Prior to becoming a therapist I worked in the voluntary/charity sector and in the private sector.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
