About me

For 25 years I have been a fully UKCP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist working face-to-face, online and by phone, helping clients to work through anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, depression, loss and bereavement, self-esteem, self-assertiveness, anger and career transition. I offer a safe and welcoming setting where I can help you overcome fears, phobias and anxieties that are holding you back from fulfilling your goals and having the supportive and nurturing relationships you deserve.

I worked for several years as a phone counsellor for AXA and I am fully trained in online and phone counselling.

I offer regression therapy and inner child work help process and overcome childhood and later traumas so that you can understand and resolve difficulties you may be having in present-day relationships at home and at work. I am a specialised EMDR practitioner with considerable experience in working with clients to process and overcome trauma.

I am an experienced supervisor and trainer, supervising and training counselling students and qualified counsellors for the past 15 years.

I programme lead and lecture on a BA in counselling accredited by Middlesex University.
