Profile

There are times when we lose direction or focus and become overwhelmed by issues that effect our lives and relationships. People seek counselling for a variety of reasons to discover what is impacting on their lives and to discover their potential.  I will work with you to explore what has brought you to counselling.  I will look with you to find ways of moving forward.

I have a social background working for many years within the community with the visually and physically handicapped and have been actively a counsellor for several years.  Although I have a variety of interests I have a special interest in living with illness, end of life challenges, grief and bereavement experiences and continue this interest working at the local Hospice and Youth Agency.

My approach to counselling has a Person-centred and Humanistic foundation as well as Integrative, bringing together diverse skills from other approaches and philosophies which inform my practice.  My work practice allows me to support individuals through various issues, for short or long-term work.

I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds; different cultures; nationalities; occupations; ages; religions and beliefs.

Further Information

My practice is based on respect, acceptance, trust, genuineness, empathic understanding and a belief in the client's own inbuilt resources.


Have courage and take that first step - don't continue to suffer anxieties that are stopping you from living your life to it's potential - phone - make contact  - help yourself through exploration to relieve those anxieties in a safe, nonjudgemental and contained environment.   Don't hold back on your potential with a positive outlook.
