Profile

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor for individuals, working in Beccles and Norwich. I offer warmth and respect, as well as my training and experience, and see counselling as an opportunity for us to explore, and ease, your distress or feelings of stuckness. Often, our present difficulties are rooted in the past, and by becoming aware of this connection, we can learn to change negative beliefs about ourselves and have more choice in how we live our lives.

Confidential counselling can be a way to talk freely about your difficulties without burdening friends or family, and without being judged or criticised. We all have hidden resources inside, and counselling can help us to tap into these resources, resolve inner conflicts, increase our self-esteem, and develop our potential for a more meaningful life.

My training is in Integrative Psychosynthesis, a holistic approach which includes mind, body, heart, soul and spirit. I use a variety of approaches and techniques, depending on what you need. In my experience, distress and anxiety sometimes arise from negative or obsessive thoughts and an over-active mind. I therefore include approaches that encourage awareness in the present moment, and bring attention to body and feelings, to give greater balance to the whole person.

Before I trained as a counsellor, I had 20 years' experience as a social worker in the NHS and community, working with people from many different cultures and backgrounds.
