About me

Are anxiety, depression or feelings of emotional distress making life and relationships miserable? Are you struggling to find a way forward and feel hopeful about life? If so, I can help.

I offer caring, warm, fully confidential and professional counselling support to help you make sense of what's going on for you and find relief from emotional distress.

I am a person-centred/integrative therapist with experience of working for two leading local counselling organisations as well as in private practice. I have over 20 years experience of working with people in distress/challenging circumstances in health and social care settings and have managed, supervised and trained other practitioners in this work.

I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches (including relational, existential, solution focused and CBT techniques) to provide what works best for each individual person.

Please contact me by phone or email to explore how I can help.

I am happy to consider reduced fees depending on circumstances.

I offer evening and daytime appointments and I work from comfortable, accessible and peaceful rooms in Newcastle-under-Lyme and Sandbach.

In addition to counselling psychotherapy, I also offer solution-focused Life Coaching for clients seeking structured support to achieve their life/career goals.
