Profile

Does it sometimes feel as if an event from the past keeps playing on your mind? Whatever happens to us in our life has the potential to cause problems such as relationship issues, depression, stress or anxiety. My aim as a counsellor is to provide a caring and supportive environment in which each client feels accepted and understood. I am accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy which ensures absolute confidentiality and non-judgemental listening and I am committed to helping each client move towards therapeutic change. I mainly work with adults offering long and short term counselling. I also offer couples counselling and counselling for work related issues. I am also a qualified supervisor for counsellors.

My private practice is in a quiet area with convenient parking and in easy reach of Poole, Bournemouth, Ferndown and surrounding areas.
