At times you may feel alone, anxious and have difficulty coping - at these times counselling can be helpful and I am here to help you. Communication and support is necessary at times of difficulty, crisis, heightened anxiety and isolation. I can support you in face-to-face sessions, by telephone and online. I will focus on helping you to work through present difficulties, understand yourself better and to repair patterns that you have been living with that are no longer working or perhaps never made you truly happy. I will be alongside you as you focus on a specific issue or crisis point in your life and to listen as you make sense of how you are feeling, even when the reason may not be clear. I will support you by offering a safe, private and accepting space for you to work through difficult or challenging relationships and life experiences, with a willingness to help and without judgement. Talking things through in confidence with my support as a professional Accredited Counsellor can help you make sense of what is happening and how you are feeling. Exploring your subjective experience and unique perspective lies at the heart of my practice. Within this safe and supportive relationship, the gentle process of change through therapy can take place. Certain counselling styles suit some people differently to others, so I draw from a range of approaches to provide the right support to meet your individual needs. I use Person-centred, CBT, Gestalt, Transpersonal and creative therapies. I am a fully qualified Counsellor with a BA (Hons) Degree in Counselling, FdSc Degree in Counselling (Distinction) and Diploma in Counselling (Distinction). I have extensive additional Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training including Trauma and PTSD-focussed CBT training with the British Psychological Society. I am a qualified Counselling Supervisor.

I am a fully qualified Counsellor and a Registered Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework guidelines.

In my private practice I work with a range of issues including anxiety, general anxiety disorder, phobias, panic disorder, depression, family issues, affairs/betrayals, separation/divorce, abuse, bereavment, trauma, sexual abuse, loss, low confidence or self-esteem, suicidal ideation/attempt and short and long-term health conditions. I have worked as a psycho-oncologist in the NHS with people living with cancer whether as a patient, carer, friend or relative. I offer emotional and psychological support before, during and after treatment or through terminal stages/bereavement.

I have extensive additional Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training, most recently Trauma and PTSD-focussed CBT with the British Psychological Society. I am a qualified Counselling Supervisor offering consultative support to other therapists.

The number of sessions you have depends on what we agree together. Regular reviews will help you decide if you need short-term support or prefer to continue for a longer period - the number of sessions will vary according to your needs. I am here to support you for as long as we feel it is helpful.
