About me
I am a qualified counsellor, a Certified transactional Analyst and a UKCP registered psychotherapist.
It is my belief that given the right support, people can make the changes they need in order to work through their difficulties, enhance their life and discover their fullest potential.
I work with individuals, couples and teenagers. I also have a lot of experience in working with children. My specialist areas are working with anxiety, relationship difficulties, weight issues and childhood trauma. This is done in a safe and non judgemental setting, which enables clients to explore their current difficulties.
In addition to offering psychotherapy and counselling, I also facilitate psychotherapy training groups as well as run various workshops.
I offer both daytime and evening appointments and will be able to discuss a time you find convenient and best suits you.
All new clients are seen for an initial consultation, with no obligation to proceed further. This allows a client to experience being with me and allows me to gain a clearer picture of a clients needs and history, in order to clarify that I can be of help.
