About me

Hello and welcome!

I am a 'Level 7' Counsellor & UKCP Registered Counsellor & Psychotherapist. I offer individual 'talking therapy' - counselling in a safe private space where my clients know they can talk freely and openly. Sometimes our lives come at us with such pace and pressure that there is nothing for it but to slow down, sit down and talk to someone we can trust. So, my work with a client firstly involves simply taking a little time out to pause and reflect, allowing the chance for a deeper and completely confidential conversation about whatever it is that is is troubling.

Through my professional work and training I have worked with many people from many walks of life, with many different problems. In particular, coping with trauma or anxiety, illness, addiction, bereavement, or family issues. People often struggle - at the beginning of counselling - to seek help, that is normal. Counselling will help the person find their own way forwards. You (the Counselling client) can can then get on with your life - in whatever way works best for you.

I take a ‘person-centred’ approach to my work – putting your needs and interests at the heart of our work together. I will offer ideas from other counselling approaches if it seems useful - in that way each client chooses and receives counselling from me that generates a 'made to measure' solution for them.

I am Registered with the Information Commissioner and hold Public Liability/Indemnity Insurance. If you would like to know a little more, please call me or look at my webpage. Thank you for your enquiry.
