About me
I love life. I believe we all can find ways to be happy and make the most of it. Whatever it is that's making you unhappy, I believe everyone can change for the better.
I am a pure 'person-centred' counsellor. That means I believe the relationship between counsellor and client is absolutely crucial to facilitate change. It is from the integrity and trust built up within our relationship that the best possible results will be found. No matter what you are facing, it is my oath to you to stand with you and walk beside you in your journey toward self-awareness, change, and lasting healing. I am on your side.

Therapies offered
Fees
£20.00 - £50.00
Additional information
I understand that therapy is too expensive for some, which seems very unfair to me, so I am prepared to accommodate the needs of clients by asking them to pay what they can afford, with a minimum of £20 per session.
Further information
I have lived a long and 'interesting' life, with 2 marriages, 6 children, 4 grandchildren, 3 careers, and many pets. I have first-hand experience of bereavement, loss, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, self-harming, addiction, suicidal ideation, abuse - emotional, sexual, and physical- and I am still standing! I am spiritual without believing in a specific religion. I think all religions worship the same God. I am an artist and creative, but practical as well as highly imaginative. I am a survivor and a fighter, to whom the old values matter most - loyalty, trust, love, courage, and kindness.
