About me

It isn’t always easy to accept, or even recognise the times when we need to talk to someone about what is going on, but it can often be rewarding to share our thoughts and feelings with somebody who is there to listen without prejudice or judgement.

It is my belief that we all have very unique and individual reasons and circumstances surrounding our issues; and I am open to working in a non-judgemental way with anyone who feels they need to share their thoughts and feelings in a safe and nurturing environment.

I am an integrative counsellor with many years’ experience of working in patient facing roles in the NHS. I currently work with the charities TIC+, supplying counsellors to schools in Gloucestershire; and with Rennie Grove Hospice based in St Albans, working with patients and families as they face the issues surrounding chronic and terminal illness. I also have a small private practice.

I have experience of working with issues such as those listed below:
·       Bereavement and loss
·       Anxiety and Depression
·       Work-Place Stress
·       Trauma
·       Faith and Spirituality
·       Adults and Young People
·       The Effects of Chronic and Terminal Illness
·       Relationships
·       Bullying and Low Self-esteem
