About me

I have some spaces for one-to-one client work, Face to face or online.  Please do not hesitate to contact me. 

Call me on 07973 452561 for an initial chat to discuss your needs

Counselling is helpful when life presents challenges such as anxiety, stress, depression, relationship problems, family issues, trauma.  My counselling approach is based on the psychology of Alfred Adler (1870-1937), an interactive and equal relationship, myself and the client working together on the issues they bring.  I am interested in helping people feel a sense of belonging, and of courage to tackle what life throws at them.  We work together to find a way to change our response to difficulties, to give ourselves more choice.

In my private practice, I work with young people and adults.

I am a member of National Counselling Society (MNCS (Accred).

I also offer supervision for counsellors and others in the helping professions.  This can be one-to-one or in small groups.  Contact me for details.
