About Me and My Practice

I work in an intergrative way with the person centred and CBT approach being at the foundation of my practice.

I work from private rooms located in St Helens with nearby parking facilities. The rooms are comfortable and tranquil, an ideal setting in which to enable positive change. I will also consider home visits.

I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists. This means I meet the associations ethical standards and continue to work within their framework and code of ethics.

I have extensive experience working with numerous issues such as depression, abuse, relationship issues, bullying, addictions, work related difficulties, anxiety and bereavement although this is not an exhaustive list.

I have been employed in a counselling role within addiction and domestic abuse organisations, government funded projects, primary and secondary school settings and private practice.

I am also part of The Change Agency Ltd - a group of therapists who work alongside each other speacialising in many different areas.

I have experience in using different medias as ways of expressing issues and feelings when words cannot be found.

I have facilitated numerous support groups.

I am presently employed by an organisation whom support adolescents with substance misuse issues.

I understand making the decision to have counselling and then choosing the right counsellor can be a daunting experience so to ease any anxieties around this I can assure you I offer an understanding, non-judgemental and trusting relationship which allows a safe space for you to make sense of and process any issues proving difficult in your life. Or it may be that you are unsure of what is troubling you, you just know something does not fit right in your life, it could be that you are stuck in a pattern of conflict within a relationship and need to explore a way of moving forward, I can help you explore and identify these difficulties whilst offering empathy and genuiness at all times.

Counselling is an individual experience and differs for each person. It will be solely your choice on where the counselling sessions go, how many sessions you need and when you end them.

I am truly passionate about the positive impact the counselling process can have on an individual or couple. I aim for this to be apparent within my practice. I feel very privileged to have witnessed many times, a positve change to an individuals mental wellbeing. Hopefully I can support you in your counselling journey and witness your positive change.
