About me

Spring signals new beginnings, and maybe this is a good time to "take stock" and reassess your life. This is where therapy can help you gain clarity to untangle complex personal issues.

You may be experiencing anxiety or panic attacks, have relationship difficulties at home or in the workplace, or be going through a difficult period in your life: bereavement, separation, or redundancy. You may have suffered a loss, faced a life crisis, or have low self esteem. You may want to explore past experiences, consider new options, change the patterns in your life and really reach your true potential. This is the time when you need to speak to someone other than friends or family, someone who will never judge you. I can offer you a warm, accepting and safe place in which to explore any of these issues.

I am a fully qualified and BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist with 19 years wide-ranging experience, which has proved to be effective and successful, in short-term and long-term therapy. I have a private practice in Farnham Common, Buckinghamshire, five minutes from the M40 and within easy reach of Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Middlesex and London. There is ample and secure parking in a private road.

I can provide:
* A safe, valuing, calm environment where you will never be judged.
* Help to explore problems and to identify changes you may wish to make.
* Respect for the individual - for me, every client is unique.
* Confidentiality - of paramount importance in the counselling and therapeutic relationship.
* New ideas and perspectives, which may help you to change the way you think or act, change life patterns or behaviours.

     
When working with Couples in conflict, I have found that having a safe and neutral setting enables couples to communicate more freely with each other and reach a better understanding, which in turn may help to resolve their difficulties.
