About me

Chapters Counselling and Training is a well established business that has been providing therapeutic services and training for in excess of 10 years.

I personally have over 17 years of post qualification experience as a counsellor which has given me a wonderful array of experience with different issues that people face in their lives. I am a warm, patient and respectful therapist who values each client as the unique person that they are. My beliefs are that there is hope for everyone and we all deserve time and space to work things out...and with support we can change, accept or just feel better in ourselves.

As well as working with individuals I am trained to work with couples and I enjoy the experience of supporting them to understand one another better, to develop their relationship or even to support the process of their relationship ending in a more satisfactory way.

I work with local businesses and agencies to offer employer assistance counselling as well as with privately referred clients who choose to access counselling for themselves.

As a supervisor, I work with many professionals including police staff, support workers and welfare officers as well as offering clinical supervision to other counsellors.

We also teach all levels of counselling training to those who wish to either have a taste of what counselling is all about or pursue a career as a qualified counsellor.

Please feel free to contact us regarding any of our professional services.


We have recently moved into new offices at Parsons Court, Welbury Way, Aycliffe Business Park, County Durham DL5 6ZE

I have taught counselling for 17 years and 11 years ago left my job to set up my own business delivering high quality, private counselling and training at all levels.
