About me
I am counselor/therapist registered with the BACP. I have a wealth experience working with a range of common mental health issues i.e. anxiety, depression, and identity. My experience also includes working with individuals that experience changes in the dynamics of their relationships with others (including family issues). This can be in the form of but not limited to domestic violence, bereavement, loss, betrayal, affairs, separation, abuse (physical, sexual, emotional, psychological), stress from work.
I offer a professional, non-judgmental counseling service in a warm and welcoming counseling environment. The sessions will be a safe and secure space for you to work through the issues that are affecting you and together we will find a way forward.I am an experienced trained counselor. My work is with individuals, couples, and groups.
I hold full professional and public liability insurance. I am also DBS (CRB) enhanced checked, this can be viewed up request.
I am available to work in schools or behalf of 3rd party organizations.
I now offer counselling supervision at a discount price whilst i am in training.

Fees
Not everyone who would benefit from counseling has the means to access affordable services, with this in mind I am currently offering sessions of 50 minutes on a weekly, fortnightly and monthly basis. My current fee is £35 per session. I can offer concessions to students, senior citizens, people on low income/wages and to individuals who wish to engage in long term therapy
I am currently offering an initial assessment (consultation) of up to 1.5 hours (90 minutes) for £20, this to help you decide if counselling or psychotherapy is for you and whether you would like to work with me.
Further information
I am comfortable exploring issues relating to sex, sexual orientation, gender, suicidal thoughts, identity, family issues, religion careers and bullying (my work is not limited to the above).
