FREE CONSULTATION: 

 Counselling: Coaching : Auricular Acupuncture

For 25 years I have successfully supported people make positive change within themselves and their life situations. The therapeutic support I offer privately is both varied and flexible to suit you and all your needs, I also work part-time for the NHS.

I feel it a real privilege to support people move from a position of vulnerability to that of strength. I love empowering people to see they have choices, and supporting them in becoming resilient. Changing the way people think and feel and inspiring hope and positive outcomes is part of my life purpose and meaning. My work along with my family and friends are what bring me the most joy.

Personal Information and Professional background

I am 55, married and been living with my husband for 38 years, a mum of two young adults and feel fortunate to have such a varied and stimulating life.

For 20 years I worked for a ‘blue chip’ company supporting departments of people in improving their confidence, performance and wellbeing. Many who had achieved incredible outward success in life, yet still felt dissatisfied or troubled by a sense of unease or a yearning for something else. Many I worked with were stuck in addictive cycles or tackling emotions such as sorrow, loneliness, grief, trauma, guilt or shame... still others shared feelings of fear, a loss of control, an increase in frustration and anger. I feel honoured to have helped so many to move forward in raising their self awareness and in supporting them to want to change so as to achieve their goals.

It was while coaching this diverse range of people that I took voluntary redundancy to acquire more specialised clinical qualifications to practice full time as a psychosocial intervention worker and therapist.... this provided me with the means to obtain my now robust experience base over the last 15years, where I have supported people in gaining relief around topics such as:

specialised Anxiety and worry; stress and depression; complex grief and loss; relationship issues and confidence building; and in over coming all types of addiction and more. I never looked back!!

What can you expect from counselling?

You can expect a free 60 minute, confidential consultation, which includes a full risk assessment alongside an exploration of your needs and expectations. A tailor made care plan is designed around how you want to move forward.

My approach is both proficient, and sensitive, which is especially important when supporting some of the more chaotic, and occasionally traumatic life events and situations. There is very little I have not dealt with, I think it safe to say I am un shockable.. My non-judgmental ethical approach, I am often told works speedily in getting you to a place where you feel held and safe enough to speak. I get a lot of encouraging feedback, something I hear again and again is how my clients have felt FULLY heard, often for the first time.

Although therapy has a ‘seriousness’ to it, I do encouraged appropriate humour and laughter along the way, recognising laughter as beneficial to the healing process. 



I am fully insured and a registered member of the BACP, (British Association for counsellors and psychotherapists), working in accordance to the BACP’s Ethical Framework.

I am also a certified fully insured Auricular Acupuncture DETOX Practitioner. This intervention is extremely popular with my clients seeking addiction related support and with those who are undergoing anxiety related therapy, so as to maintain their overall health and wellbeing.

Modes of therapy and Venues:-

For twenty years I led teams within a blue print company in the private sector. I also worked within an operational role covering aspects of Human Resources. The knowledge and skills I gained during this time, along with qualifying as a coach practitioner brought me much success in empowering and mobilising people back to work, many from long term sick. My efforts Improving well-being and performance within a department of circa 200 was recognised via a nomination for a chief executive award.

After having had 20 happy years working in the private sector, voluntary redundancy allowed me to commit to charity driven voluntary work and ultimately a career change working within the field of addictions. During this time I re-trained as a psychotherapeutic therapist, studying for 3 years at Manchester University. I went on to become highly experienced as a psychosocial interventions worker within a long established and reputable substance misuse service. I continue to enjoy success-supporting people in making positive changes, and in becoming stronger in themselves and their relationships. 



I am committed to continually updating my holistic knowledge and skill set, and in keeping abreast of new theories in the management of mental health and well being in general.
