Profile

I offer a safe and confidential space for both individuals and couples to explore emotions, in a therapeutic relationship which is free from judgement. Unresolved issues, both past and present, can be explored and thought about, whether they be relationship issues, dealing with loss, thinking about where you are in your life and where you would like to be etc.

Counselling can help you to come to terms with and find acceptance of the past, to think about the options available to you and choices you might wish to make to enable you to look forwards to a more positive future.

I am a fully qualified counsellor and my training was based on both person centred and psychodynamic theories and both of them inform my practice.

I have a particular interest in working with either a couple or one of the partners in a couple to best manage a separation or divorce in the best interests of all the members of the family.

The work we do together can either be short or long term, depending on what suits your needs.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adhere to their ethical code.
