About me

My counselling practice is currently fully booked. I am not accepting any new enquires at this time.

I provide individual counselling for adults, children and adolescents in my peaceful therapy room in Tadley, within easy reach of Reading, Basingstoke, Newbury and surrounding areas of Hampshire and Berkshire. I also offer coaching, support and strategies for parents or carers.

• Are you looking for help with a specific problem? Examples include anxiety and depression, issues with body image and food, grief and loss, gender identity and sexuality.
• Perhaps you have a general sense that there must be more to life? You want to be happier, achieve goals, be healthier, relax more - but you keep on blocking or sabotaging yourself.
• Are you stressed and overwhelmed? Would you like emotional support and coping strategies to deal better with difficult life situations, including chronic illness and pain, family or work problems?
• Are you a parent or carer of a troubled child? You need a counsellor you can trust, who has the right specialist skills, training and experience. You may also benefit from my parent coaching to help you to help your child yourself.
• Fostering/adoption agencies: I have experience of working in foster care, DDP levels 1 & 2, and up-to-date specialist training in child trauma and dissociation.

I am a sensitive, empathic and gently challenging integrative counsellor with a wealth of training and experience to help with a wide range of issues. I have specialist training in work with children, adolescents and parents/carers, eating disorders, and holistic body oriented psychotherapy.

If you feel I might be the right therapist for you, I offer a free half an hour no obligation phone consultation where we can discuss your issues and how I can help you individually or as a family.

I welcome diversity including all body sizes, abilities, races, sexualities, genders, religions and political values.
