About me
I can provide a safe, confidential space for you to look at what may be causing you distress and explore ways in which you can develop your full potential. I offer private counselling and psychotherapy to individuals in a quiet consulting room in small village outside Holt, North Norfolk.
I can work with any psychological issue you may wish to explore.
Including the following:
- relationship issues
- anxiety or stress
- bereavement
- depression
- family and relational problems
- anger management
- disaffection and boredom
- habitual worrying
- effects of physical, emotional or sexual abuse
- sexuality
- self-esteem
- post traumatic stress
My consulting room is a cosy writing cabin in small village outside Holt, North Norfolk. Parking is available close by. I am not able to provide access for wheelchair users.
My days of work are Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I will have more availability from October 2023.
Please telephone or email me so we can talk through a suitable time to meet for our initial session.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

What to expect
Therapy sessions are offered weekly. An initial consultation session will be offered to explore the current difficulty and to establish if it is possible for us to work together. Aims and goals will be discussed in this first session and the length of time you wish to spend in therapy explored. This will be open to review at any time. Fees will be decided too.
A small number of evening sessions are available.
