About me
I offer you a warm and friendly welcome to explore with you whatever you bring to counselling.
Your time is precious. We will focus on whatever is most important to you, whether it’s general disquiet or a particular issue you’re facing. You’ll spend time discovering new things about yourself and working on what you’d like to be different going forward in your life.
You lead the way. I will listen, prompt, create opportunity for us to explore, gaining new insights and learning new things that will help you.
You set the pace. Whether we meet weekly, fortnightly, monthly or one off, that’s your choice to fit in with where you are now and where you may be heading.
I am an integrative practitioner, meaning that my counselling practice is based on a number of skills and knowledge gained from different theories. This means that I can adapt the way we work together to focus on your unique needs, challenges and goals.
Most of my counselling sessions are online. I feel it is better for the environment and I can meet with you from anywhere in the world! I have a few opportunities to meet face to face in South Devon, UK or have sessions by phone (UK only)
I have counselled clients facing all sorts of life issues including bereavement, anxiety, low mood, adolescence, ageing, parenting, caring responsibilities, cultural differences, relationship breakdowns, eco-anxiety, employment difficulties and many more.
At an introductory session we can talk about why you are coming to counselling and start getting to know each other. We can discuss your goals if you know them, and I can answer any questions you might have about counselling. After that we can decide about and arrange your next sessions.
