About me

I am a listening and caring therapist who works  to better help people reach what they want to achieve. I am experienced working in private practice and within the NHS and currently run a group at the University of Cambridge on the post graduate counselling course there. I work with all adult age groups  and provide a safe space to explore whatever issues you feel need addressing in a non-judgemental and supportive environment.

The therapy goals of the client are addressed in the sessions, although these can change as therapy progresses. Dealing with current issues, becoming less stuck in past patterns of behaviour that are unhelpful and developing ones potential and feeling more "at ease" with oneself are some of the  goals of therapy.

Call me to see if I can help you. An initial conversation will help establish if you feel comfortable with me before beginning therapy.
