About me

I am a counsellor who works from a designated room in my home. Counselling can help to make sense of or deal with things that need to be changed in order to enjoy a happier and more fulfilling life. I work on either a short or long term basis and recognise just how much courage it can take to reach out for support.

My approach is gentle, supportive and respectful offering you a confidential, safe, warm and non-judgemental space to explore any difficult issues, thoughts or feelings with an aim to gain understanding and possible strategies to enable lasting change. I work in a person-centred way, integrating different skills best suited for your own individual needs.

People come for counselling for a variety of reasons - some examples being bereavement, loss, trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, work problems.

I believe it is absolutely crucial to find the right counsellor in order to build a relationship of trust and to be able to work together. An initial no-obligation consultation gives you the opportunity to ask any questions before deciding whether we wish to work together.

Certificate in Hypnotherapy and Counselling Skills - Cert Hyp CS
