About me

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor , I look at what it is you may be struggling with and what goals you would like to achieve in the future, as I like to focus on what we can achieve together, until you are ready to do this alone and have the sufficient tools to do this solo. I offer short and open ended sessions.

I hope to help prospective clients understand their struggles and worries, through different approaches that suit you as an individual person.

I offer Face to face in a central reading location and also in a tilehurst location or I can offer online or telephone counselling as well , I initially offer a free consultation of 20 for minutes to see if I am the right fit for you, and then if you are happy to continue we can then book in a full session which will be 50 minutes.

I work slowly and steady with my clients, my clients gain the tools to learn to manage their difficulties and daily struggles, and use what they learn in counselling to greatly improve their ways of life, and move forward and live life in a different direction, so if you feel that this feels like I am someone you could work with, please get in touch.

Training, qualifications & experience
