About me

Hello, whatever has brought you here is welcome, all of you, and no matter in what state you arrive. I am here to really listen. So much of my life experience has taught me that talking things out is immensely helpful and that being listened to, is one of the most powerful experiences ever. I believe that you are the expert in your life and that within you, you have all that is needed to grow and understand yourself more fully. I will work alongside you so that you can harness your own inner resources to help you create the life you want to have.

I am a person-centred counsellor and also use creative techniques. I am open to anything that you bring and it is always your agenda, not mine.

If you decide you may want to work with me, we can have an initial call to chat things through and you will get more of a feel about who I am and how I work and we can go from there.

Further information

My framework is person centred and I am constantly reading, doing courses and each time, I come back to the fact that with the client in the centre, any issue can be helped. The environment in which I hold my clients, with warmth, compassion, a trusting therapeutic relationship and confidence, means together we can work towards change: often quite remarkably deeply and quickly improving life quality and bringing understanding and happiness where once was confusion and despair.
