Profile
I am a BACP Senior Registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist with over 20 years experience of working with both couples and individuals. I am also a BACP Accredited Supervisor, offering supervision to other counsellors.
I know from my own experience of being a client how difficult it can be to take that first step to begin counselling. I also know how valuable it is to feel safe enough to express my deepest feelings to another.
For this reason, I see the quality of the relationship I offer to my clients as being the cornerstone of the service I offer. My hope is that my clients feel truly heard and supported as they struggle with the many and varied issues they bring to me.
I have a Masters Degree in Guidance and Counselling from the University of Durham and also hold the Relate Certificate in Couples Counselling. I have worked for many years with Relate both as a counsellor and supervisor. I have also spent nine years as Staff Counsellor at the University Hospital of Durham.
I now work in private practice, seeing clients for both individual and couples counselling in a private room in my home in a peaceful area a few miles from Durham city. I am just one mile from the A1M motorway and clients are able to park on my drive.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
I offer couples counselling for couples with relationship issues and sexual problems. With individuals, I cover a wide range of issues including work related problems, bereavement and loss, anxiety and depression, unresolved childhood and family issues. The initial session takes the form of an assessment in which I discuss with the client whether we can work usefully together. If this is not possible, I will discuss alternative sources of support for the client's particular situation. During this initial session, I will also talk to the client about confidentiality and the exceptions to this.
