Profile

I am a person centred counsellor and work in a way that recognises and values each person as a unique individual.  You will have time and space to experience your feelings, disappointments, fears and hopes in a peaceful and non judgemental environment.  I provide a safe space where together we can explore what changes you feel could lead to a happier and more fulfilled life.

• You may be having relationship problems or have experienced the loss of someone close to you
• You may feel depressed and unable to cope.
• You may suffer from an eating disorder.
• You may self harm.
• You may be experiencing panic attacks and feeling of anxiety.
• You may have suffered physical or mental abuse,
• You maybe a carer under strain and with no one to turn to.
• You may feel life is not worth living.
• You may be struggling with your sexuality.

From experience, I feel it is helpful to arrange an initial session to talk further about what you would like to get from counselling. At the end of this session you can decide whether you feel counselling is right for you and whether you would like to work short term within a set number of sessions or prefer longer term counselling with regular reviews. Some people feel nervous coming to counselling for the first time, others have lots of questions. You will be welcomed and I can explain further as to what you can expect from counselling.

I work within the BACP Ethical Framework and my foremost concern is for your emotional wellbeing.
