About me

Are you feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed, angry, empty, lonely, scared, unsatisfied, not yourself? Are your wants and needs not being met? Do you want to improve or change parts of your life and the relationships in it? Do you wonder where your place is in the world? What is your purpose? Who you are? What it all means?

If any of this sounds true for you, then this is when counselling can be a positive step. I can help you to explore why you feel, think and behave the way you do, perhaps in ways that are stopping you from fulfilling your potential, from living the life you want to live, from finding meaning and purpose - from being you.

I meet you as a fellow human being, with no judgement, no prejudice. It will be a welcoming, compassionate, genuine, safe and confidential space where the focus is on you – what you need, what you want, and what I can do to help you. As you can imagine, ours will be a unique relationship.

My approach is humanistic and person-centred. It is a non-directive, client-led approach where the relationship between myself and you is of the greatest importance.

I am curious to find out about you. I want to understand you, so I will be asking questions when I feel it’s needed, carefully and considerately challenging you along the way. We will work together at your pace, always to your benefit, in a thoughtful, respectful, and ethical manner.

You are the expert on you. You experience your world your way. I will try to get in there with you, to see things from your perspective, to feel how you feel, to think how you think, to understand you and your experience of your existence. And from there we can work together to explore how to help you with what you need.

I work from a private address in Torquay. I am currently offering individual face to face counselling, and/or 'walk and talk' sessions at a pre-arranged location. I feel that the most effective counselling relationship happens in person, face to face, however I also offer online sessions, if required.
