Profile

I work in a relaxed, confidential, quiet setting near to the centre of York. I have many years experience of working as a counsellor and psychotherapist, seeing people with a wide range of issues and also seeing couples who are experiencing difficulties in their relationship. I believe that each person is unique and so I work in different ways to encourage greater insight, awareness, and understanding of why problems have arisen and how change can happen.
Many people are struggling with emotional issues, and can't find a way forward in their lives. We are all born with so much potential which often gets lost or buried as we go through childhood. Our work together can focus on finding the confidence and energy to re-discover your abilities and to have more fulfilling relationships.
A key part of my work is the nature and quality of the relationship I establish with each person I see. I aim to provide a safe, comfortable and non-judgemental space to explore problems, to find new ways of dealing with troubling thoughts and feelings and to discover the resources needed to respond creatively when faced with difficult situations.
