About me

As an existential psychotherapist and counsellor, I approach my work from a philosophical standpoint. I can help you develop a better understanding of how your problems can affect your life, and how you can even sometimes turn them to your advantage so that you can strengthen esteem, awareness and a sense of your place in the world. I provide a confidential, non-judgemental and welcoming space which encourages you to find a way to be able to express yourself freely.

I draw on my knowledge of a range of therapeutic models to encourage you to think about your values; the labels that you have been given and you have given yourself, and whether they are helpful in understanding your life; and to try to find meaning in your behaviour, coping mechanisms and how you relate to others and the world around you. I can help you to think about the aspects of your life you want to change and learn ways to come to terms with and accept those parts of your life that can’t be changed.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
