About me

One-to-one Counselling for adults, including depression, anxiety, guilt, shame, anger, loss and bereavement, low self-esteem, panic disorder, phobias, relationship issues and work related issues. Specialist Counselling for PTSD also offered. Long or short-term available. Integrative approach founded on a Christian worldview, but suitable for and accessible to those of any faith or none.

Couples Counselling also available.

In line with current Government guidance I am currently only offering online sessions, however this is always with the intention to working face-to-face as soon as circumstances permit.
