WHY ARE MY FEES LOW? Because I believe in accessible, timely support. No jargon, no form filling, no assessments, no waiting lists. Just quality, affordable therapy when you need it. Experienced. Qualified Therapist. 

 How are you Feeling?

Are you feeling sad, anxious, low? Maybe you are all alone with your feelings not knowing what to do or who to talk to. Have you suffered the death of a loved one and are thrown into the terrible effects of grief?

You may be suffering from low self-esteem or burnout. Work may have become burdensome or, you may be facing the loss of income and stability through ill health or divorce.

You may be feeling confused and adrift after a relationship breakdown or, you may be at a crossroads in your life and don't know which path to follow.

How therapy may help  

Whatever you are feeling, it can help to talk to someone outside of family and friends, a  professional, so that you can be your true self and explore difficult emotions fully and therapeutically.

My experience as a therapist 

I have 20 years of experience as a therapist, working with a diverse range of issues, including Anxiety, Life changes, Abuse, Work related issues, Death anxiety, Relationship issues. Self-esteem. Historic child sexual abuse.

I have worked in a range of counselling organisations including Savana and The Dove Service and Douglas Macmillan; charitable organisations and global organisations as a workplace associate counsellor working with a diverse range of problems people face daily. I have many years experience working with bereavement and loss and abuse. I have also worked in private practice for 12 years and as a support worker on a mental health helpline for 10 years. I was also a Samaritan for 7 years.
