About me
Thank you for taking the time to look at my page.
In this modern world where there are so many ways to stay connected, we can often feel isolated and alone. I am here to offer you a safe space where you can feel valued and respected without judgement; time to explore what is at the heart of those thoughts that often get buried or are too emotional to even think about.
Anxiety, racing thoughts, guilt and sometimes shame can be so overwhelming, it can feel like there is no escape. Active listening is a key part of counselling, so it's important to find a counsellor that you feel you can build a trusting relationship with.
Therefore, I offer a free 30 minute appointment to enable you to understand what I can offer you. I work with warm, person centred approach that can incorporate working creatively to explore your deepest thoughts.
I also offer Walk and Talk therapy, being out in the fresh air can offer you more freedom to talk, it reduces anxiety and can improve physical health. It’s a way of connecting safely together and, for some, can feel a more natural way of working together.
If you feel overwhelmed by grief and loss, anxiety or simply need to be heard-please get in touch. Change in our lives happen for a variety of reasons, and it can arrive unannounced and unexpected-turning our world upside down. I’m here waiting to support you to work through the turmoil and roller coaster of emotions.
I would be privileged to offer you my counselling services and experience of caring and supporting people through some of their most difficult times.
My sessions currently are via telephone, Zoom, WhatsApp or Walk and Talk therapy.
Face to Face will resume when safe to do so.
