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 ASISP_A0005.jpg
  • 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.
