Profile

"I'm not coping", "I'm tired of feeling this way", "I can't talk to family or friends about this", "I just want to feel normal again". It may be that you can identify with some of these sentiments and are looking for a little extra help to get through a difficult period.  All of us have times of stress in our lives but, when we might struggle to resolve an issue, past or present, and it starts to interfere with our lives, then it can be helpful to talk things through with a trained professional.  I am a BACP-accredited counsellor and work from my home in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire.  I see clients with wide-ranging issues, from anxiety and depression caused by ongoing worries, to those facing a more immediate life crisis.  My aims will be to:

- fully support you
- help you work through troubling thoughts and feelings
- find different perspectives or new insights
- reconnect with your personal resources
- find possibilities for moving forward

If you would like to contact me, please do so either by phone or email.  I respond daily to messages.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I work in private practice, and offer an independent counselling service which is based from premises at my home in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire.  Previously I have worked in Primary Care as Practice Counsellor at two GP surgeries in South Bucks.  I have worked for the counselling service of Buckinghamshire Mind. 

I support and work with clients who have wide-ranging issues from depression, relationship difficulties, and abuse to lack of confidence and low self-esteem, and loss such as bereavement, separation and divorce or redundancy.  I also work with clients or family members who are struggling to cope with life-limiting illness such as cancer and dementia.

I am a humanistic therapist and work in the person-centred counselling approach.  I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and am bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice.
