About me

Counselling and supervision. At work, in-person or online.

The Bible offers massive support for our personal development alongside counselling and psychotherapy. As emotional health can affect every area of life, at pinch-point times we all need a confidential outlet to process our immediate challenges with support to transform life's difficulties.

Solutions focused counselling gives you the opportunity to understand your current challenges and explore ways to overcome them in a confidential space where the topics discussed and pace is guided by you. This may include person-centred pluralistic or integrative counselling to suit you.

Therapy if available in Guildford, Surrey in-person or online, in a dedicated private counselling room. I also provide counselling supervision.

I work with solo adults and young-people, couples and families. 

The solutions focused work began with the NHS Talking Therapy Services and The You Trust (addiction, trauma, domestic violence and rape counselling service), plus primary and secondary age complex SEN and various other areas such as Autism (ASD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), fetal loss, grief and bereavement, a wide variety of addictions.
