About me

Covid-19

I am now offering online counselling (Skype, Messenger, Whatsapp, etc.) as well as face-to-face counselling. I try to be as flexible as I can with times and work most mornings and at least three evenings a week. Online couple counselling can even be done with the couple in separate locations.

Areas where I can help

Specialising in marriage, couple and relationship issues I have 34 years counselling experience. Trust, infidelity, communication, conflict, anger, forgiveness, 'active listening', personality types, etc. are just some of the relationship issues I deal with.

Anxiety, depression, anger management and internet issues are also areas where I have a great deal of counselling experience and expertise.

I came into counselling through working through some of my own issues (true for most counsellors I think) and find I have a real heart to help people out. I enjoy seeing peoples' lives change for the better and when couples have children, I am particularly keen to try and help save the relationship. I integrate different counselling styles, look at personality types and background, give 'homework' if people are agreeable to it and draw on 34 years of extensive experience (including being a G.P.'s counsellor, the BUPA counsellor for the local area, a Social Services family counsellor and a prison counsellor).

Also domestic violence and anger management, bereavement, depression, anxiety and fears.
