About me

If you feel you are at that cross roads and would like some help to see your way through, please give me a call or send me an email.

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist and work as an Integrated Therapist offering multi-models of therapy. I work at all times with person centered core conditions of respect and I will help empower and enable you move forward with your life and enjoy a fulfilled life.

I work within the Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy from The National Counselling Society, an accredited register for Professional Standards Authority. I am an accredited member of the National Counselling Society.

I originally trained and qualified as a nurse in the early 70s, practicing until I had my children. I then moved into the business world and spent 25 years working in the City at senior board level. During this time I studied to become a counsellor and psychotherapist. I have vast experience and understanding of the business world and the pressure and stress this can have on your life. Working full time, studying and bringing up a family has also given me great insight into the struggle and trying to juggle my life and the impact this can have both on your own health and life but also your family, friends and relationships.

I have worked with Victim Support and currently work for MIND and Barnado’s helping people to understand their life and empower them to move forward. I work with clients with various issues or problems including stress and anxiety, bereavement, low self esteem and low self confidence, bullying, abuse, self defeating behaviours and relationship problems to enable you to live a fulfilled life.

Please give me a call or send an email and I will be happy to talk you through the first steps.
