About me

Welcome.

People say I am a good listener, both for shorter and longer periods of time. 
Therapy is a kind of journey, so I treat it as an adventure. I find this approach can be helpful to navigate the most difficult problems. Yes, there can be tears, but there is also much laughter and humour to get us through.

Whether the matters you bring are depression, anxiety, relationship problem, bereavement, caring for loved one, or the need to change job, there is always a way through to new beginnings.

Much of what I do starts in conversation. You will see I have a number of tools and modalities that we can use as well. Whatever I draw upon depends on what comes up in the therapy and your preferences. I have trained in a number of methods that use creativity, roleplay, imagination and dreams.

I offer a brief phone call (max 15 minutes) for free to discuss any initial questions before doing a session where we meet. That first full session will be for the agreed fee. At the end of that we will discuss how we want to continue. I look forward to hearing from you.

Key details

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

Please provide advance warning to ensure any extras can be set up..
