About me

In times of crisis or confusion we all need some help and support, and therefore its essential to have friends and family around to share emotions and express how you are feeling. However, if you seek an independent person to speak with, I listen to, empathise with, encourage and help to empower individuals.

I understand the nature of problems encountered varies according to the setting and could include, for example, depression, anxiety, the need to manage harmful emotions and behaviours, or difficulties with coping with traumatic experience and events.

I work with clients with mild to moderate mental health problems, or with people who need support because of genetic disorders or diseases such as cancer or other illnesses.

I offer a reduced fee for your first session this is to establish working relationship, answer any questions you may have. This is also opportunity for you to share a little of your journey.

I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgmental warm space for therapy. Providing counselling face to face, over the telephone, or online via skype, offering short- and long-term therapy and confidential record keeping.

I’m qualified in Person Centred Therapy which means that I concentrate on you as an individual and your needs however I draw on my knowledge of other therapeutic approaches to best suit the needs of my clients.  Most importantly, I hope my down to earth yet professional approach will enable you to relax and to put you at ease which is particularly helpful when disclosing difficult life experiences.

Whilst working with clients I aim to help you better understand yourself and find your own ways to cope or to resolve problems, through a series of professional sessions at a regular time and place. Please remember this is your journey and this must be taken great care of.

Referral and liaison:

I am a small independent counsellor and therefore if individuals are unable to reach these areas, I am happy to recommend other counsellors to ensure you find the best support.

My message:

We all face challenging times and times of feeling under-pressure in our personal and or work life’s, this is no secret! The secret is how we decide to deal with those challenging times! And therefore, I encourage you to speak to your friends and family or seek an independent person to speak with.

Therapy is so special when you are able to find a therapist that works for you.

Therapy has been and will continue to be life changing for many of my clients.

I love creating positive counselling experiences for people and building strong counselling relationships. In doing this Im hoping to break the fear and stigma around counselling. The long term vision of this for me is so that children, young people, adults and elderly people won’t be so afraid of asking for help in the future. After having experienced positive counselling relationships the fear is lessened and the wall is lowered.

Thank you for visiting my profile. If I can help in anyway please do not hesitate to contact me.

All I ask is that you be fully committed and ready for the journey.

Together we will build on a working relationship that is safe, respectful, honest and open.

Take great care
