About me

As we journey through life issues can arise that are difficult and painful. I am a qualified, experienced BACP Accredited counsellor. I offer a safe, confidential, and non judgemental environment to support you in understanding, addressing and overcoming these issues. Counselling can help you gain clarity and perspective and help you achieve positive change. I can support you through this.

I am an optimist by nature and believe that we are very often stronger and more resourceful than we think, we just need support in realising that truth.

I am client focused and help you work towards the goals that you have presented in a way that is;

- caring

- professional

- respectful

- open

- honest.
