Counselling (Dip.Couns, NCPS Acc.)

About me

Welcome! I'm a qualified counsellor offering person-centred and trauma-informed counselling for adults (18+) through both online and telephone sessions, providing a flexible and accessible service wherever you are.

At the heart of the person-centred approach is you.  My role is to offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. 

I offer open-ended counselling, meaning we can work together for as long as you feel it is beneficial.

I have over 20 years of experience working closely with people in various professional settings, bringing a wealth of life experience and understanding to my practice. 

I work with a variety of presenting issues, including anxiety, relationship difficulties, bereavement, low self-esteem, stress, and navigating significant life changes.

If you'd like to find out more, I offer a free, no obligation, initial telephone call where we can discuss what you are looking for and see how we might work together.
