Relationship counsellor, NHS treatment for depression (IPT)

About me

Hi, I hope that you feel better soon. I work with both individuals and with couples. 

I want you to feel supported and understood and help you make changes in an area you feel unhappy with. The changes may be within yourself, how you think or view a situation or relationship, or you may need support to make external changes and to engage help from the people you have in your life. 

I work from home in comfortable surroundings. My house is accessible except for a small step up to the bathroom. I also work work on Zoom.

I've worked as a counsellor for about 15 years. I trained in person-centred counselling, followed by transactional analysis and "relate" couples counselling. I'm qualified in IPT (Interpersonal psychotherapy), which is used in the NHS.  

I have worked for Relate organisation and a charity providing counselling and treatment to the NHS.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

Access into counselling room from outside drive. You can park very close to room on my drive (please request). Access to toilet but small step in bathroom. I'm happy to help with wheelchair over the step. I can provide a photo.
