About me

Counselling is about change. By reading this and contemplating that change you are already making a big step.

I have been working as a Humanistic Counsellor for the past 8 years. I have two practices; one situated in Hedge End, just off  junction 7 of the M27 and the other in Southampton just off the Avenue. Both are easily accessible to all surrounding areas including Portsmouth, Fareham, Southampton and Eastleigh and have parking available. I have a broad training and work very flexibly within this which means that I can offer both long term and short term work and use a range of therapeutic approaches including CBT and Mindfulness to best suit you and your needs. I am fully qualified, insured and am also a registered member of the BACP.

I have worked in a range of different settings and have extensive experience of working with issues including trauma, bereavement, loss, identity, depression, anxiety, panic, phobias, anger management, relationships, confidence, low mood and perinatal and postnatal anxiety and depression. Please see further below for a fully comprehensive list.

How Counselling Can Help:

People access counselling for many different reasons. Life can often feel difficult and it can be hard to find a way out of how we are feeling on our own. Talking to those who are closest to us can often feel hard. Those people may feel too close or may even be part of the issue itself. This is where counselling can help. I provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore and understand how you are feeling and together we can look for a way forward.

I understand that looking for a Counsellor can feel overwhelming and confusing so if you have any questions, or would just like a quick chat about how it all works, I welcome your call on 07916 159750.
