Profile

My aim, as a qualified counsellor, is to give you a safe and supportive place to address any issues that are stopping you developing and enjoying a fulfilling life.  It could be that you have low self-esteem or are suffering from anxiety, stress or depression. Perhaps your relationship with your partner, children or other family members is under strain. Maybe you have suffered a bereavement, abuse, bullying or is illness creating issues in your life? You may even have a problem such as an eating disorder .

I understand what a big step it is to acknowledge that you need someone to help you understand the emotional turmoil which is causing you to feel unhappy, out of control or lost. I believe that the process of talking in a confidential environment with someone who is sensitive and non-judgmental will start the process of healing. I offer psychodynamic, person-centred and cognitive behaviourial therapies to help you understand and make positive changes in your life.

I completed my BACP accredited Advanced Diploma level counselling course in 2002 and am a Member of the BACP. I enjoy working as a private counsellor, an Affiliate Counsellor for a large health organisation, and as a counsellor and supervisor for the Letchworth Counselling Centre. I also run training courses in Stress and Anxiety, Building Self Confidence and Disordered Eating.

As a Director of The Create Network (www.thecreatenetwork.co.uk) I work with colleagues in promoting positive change programmes and offer coaching and creative solutions to organisations wanting to develop and grow.

I offer counselling clients the opportunity of working both short term (from 4 sessions) and long term (over a year). After a client contacts me I arrange an initial session to assess their needs, see if we are happy to work together and discuss the likely length of time, frequency of sessions etc. 

I am happy to talk on the phone or have an e-mail conversation to answer any queries you have about counselling or myself.
