About me

Hello and welcome, the thoughts and feelings we have about ourselves, affect how we communicate, the way we communicate affects our relationships and well-being.
I am an integrated Counsellor and can work with different types of therapies to meet your individual needs.

Exploring the way you think and feel can develop your emotional intelligence and give you the knowledge to bring about the resolve you seek. I am an individual and a therapist that believes change is possible.

As a therapist, I offer understanding, clarity and empathy. Taking this first step can be empowering and may feel a bit scary at the same time, but the best results are achieved by talking it out, with the assurance of knowing that you will not be judged, but met with empathy and understanding.

We often find that we hold the answers inside ourselves, but sometimes a little help is needed to gain clarity. Sometimes, just one appointment can put you back on track, so I offer both short-term and long-term therapy, depending on your need. I offer evening appointments, as well as some weekend appointments.

My approach is to treat each person as an individual. Everyone is treated with respect and discretion.

Working as an Integrated Counsellor I find sometimes life can be difficult and can leave us feeling stuck, lost, helpless or distressed. Counselling offers you a confidential place to explore issues and feelings without any pressure or judgement. In doing so it can help reduce confusion and encourage proactive change and to help you move forward.

I am also a qualified Reiki Practitioner who can offer 1 2 1 sessions and can also attune others to Reiki up to and including the level of Reiki Master level. Some people have Reiki simply as a relaxing therapy, some because they are stressed, anxious, in pain, or grieving, others need more balance, or clarity in life. Reiki is helpful for all – you don't need a reason to receive it. I find that using both therapies works very well within the therapy process of releasing any stresses or worries.

I offer an initial free session and concessionary rates for students, job seekers and those on low wages.
