Email meAbout me
Significant change can come about within four counselling sessions.
Most of my work is short term, though some clients wish longer within a psychotherapeutic or coaching relationship.
We all have difficulties in our lives at times. No matter what your history or troubles now, I can offer a safe environment to help work things through so that your future can be more manageable and happier.
For some self-help on emotions: Do have a look at my book: www.thepennymodel.com
Also my phone app for anxiety: Break Free Anxiety.
I am committed to providing counselling, psychotherapy and coaching in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment. I have been in practice for over 16 years and I am now available around the world via Skype, Zoom, Face Time, Viber and by phone.
The main areas in which I help people:
- Anxiety (OCD, Panic Attacks, Phobias).
- Couples Counselling (where the focus is on: Being Heard and Understood)
- Anger management
- Depression
- Addiction
- Emotional Intelligence (Groups and Individuals)
- Supervision (£ 50 per monthly session).
My practice is in Fareham. I also offer training days/evenings on topics such as emotional intelligence, anger management, gestalt theory, skills practice. Check out my website or email me for details.

Further information
The focus of my work is to help you achieve greater awareness, which will offer you more options for the future (so that you don't end up doing the same old things/patterns within your relationships, at work, and how you get angry). This brings about change in your life.
Some client feedback:

Some group feed back:
