About me
I am a highly experienced Integrative Clinical Psychotherapist and Counsellor who works with a wide range of issues from Depression and Anxiety through to complex mental health issues. My view is that we all have times in out lives when things can become difficult for us, or we feel there is no way forward. Our friends and family can offer support, but sometimes this isn't enough, or there are feelings you just can't share and may hold onto for years.
At times, it can be valuable to work with someone who is totally independent of your life. This gives you the opportunity to fully explore your own feelings within an understanding, non-judgemental and confidential relationship.
I strongly believe that each person has the potential for positive growth. To gain greater insight and a fresh perspective on their life. Allowing recognition of their own personal strength within, to take hold of, and move forward.

Further information
Working together generally consists of an initial consultation to discuss your issues, if you feel psychotherapy or counselling would be of benefit to you, and that we feel comfortable working together.My private practice is based at my studio in Ulverston, and my hours arranged to suit my clients where possible. This can be discussed initially.
I offer online counselling by Skype/Zoom/Google Meet too as I feel visual and verbal communication are extremely important when discussing personal issues.
