Not happy with the way you look? Feeling you have no self value? That others are more important than you are? Feeling you need to look a certain way or act a certain way to feel accepted? Do you struggle to connect with others?

I can help you work through these feeling, explore how you came to believe this and help you develop skills that enable you to connect with others more easily. People who have worked with me have said that they have better relationships, feel happier, are more relaxed, more confident and feel empowered to make their own choices and able to own their own emotions, and are able to distinguish what and who they are responsible for and who and what they are not responsible for.

Hello, I am an integrative counsellor with over 10 years of post qualification experience. I draw on techniques like person centred, mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, plus others to provide tailor made therapy. I work face to face and on line.

I provide a safe, comfortable and non judgemental space where you and your story/narrative can be heard as I walk this part of your journey with you. A place where you can explore your feelings and thought processes, coping mechanisms, their purpose and your responses. To collaboratively work together to make corrections should they need to be in these areas. To set goals to help keep looking forward and mark achievements and progress. and create healthy boundaries that will enable you to be more comfortable with yourself as you move forward in your journey.

on initial contact I will take your name and a rough overview of why you are choosing counselling now, this will be just enough information to see if I can assist you in your requirements. The first appointment is a meet and greet, it consists of us formally introducing ourselves, I will then take contact details and some background details. And we will then look at goals you would like to set for counselling if you already know what these might be - these are initial goals and it maybe you don’t have any set goals at this point in time, that’s absolutely fine we can look at this as part of the process. If you have come with something that requires immediate interventions we will also look at this during the first appointment. Eg. Trouble sleeping, struggling to focus, overwhelming emotions.

All data collected is paper based so can’t be hacked or transmitted. It is stored in locked cabinets in a locked room that has limited access restricted to me and the person designated should anything happen to me.
