Profile

I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist with over 12 years experience of working in varying settings, I have additional training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I work with individuals, couples and organisations in offering both brief and longer term work. My practise is currently located in Wallingford, Oxfordshire and central Reading. I believe that counselling can provide a supportive, caring, although often challenging, environment for indiviudals and couples to explore the things that are painful, an opportunity to reframe the way we see ourselves and our relationships and look at options for the future.

Thank you very much for reading this, my website will tell you more about me and how we might work together, please take a few moments to look.
