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 extensive experience of working with people in distress/challenging circumstances within Local Authority and voluntary sector settings.

I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches (including relational, solution focused and CBT techniques) to provide what works best for each individual person. I offer a flexible approach to meet individual requirements - this can range from weekly sessions (usually at the start of therapy) to fortnightly or even occasional/one-off sessions.

I work with adults from the age of 16 years and couples.

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

I offer evening and daytime appointments, working from comfortable 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.

I am happy to consider reduced fees depending on circumstances.
