Email meAbout me
I'm an experienced accredited counsellor offering a calm, quiet, non-judgemental environment. You can use our sessions to offload; for support with an issue that's effecting your life right now; or to explore more long standing issues to help prevent the same negative feelings in the future.
I have a foundation degree in Humanistic Counselling with Transactional Analysis. This means that I am trained in recognising the personal growth potential in all of us; to offer a non-judgmental environment to explore this in; and to work with you to explore how your past has influenced the decisions you’ve made and how you interact with others – from your family and partner to your workmates and boss.
I also have experience in using Mindfulness, which can be seen as managing overwhelming thoughts and feelings by paying attention to the present moment; and CBT, which can be seen as exploring how and why we give particular meanings to events in our lives in order to maintain beliefs about ourselves.
I offer evening and daytime sessions and am based just 10 miles from Basingstoke, Andover, Newbury and Winchester.
