About me

I am a compassionate and qualified counsellor focused on the complete well-being of a client. I look to offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to explore a client’s life issues and challenges.

I understand how challenging therapy can be; it is a big step to contact a stranger and talk about personal difficulties. Through email, text or phone call, we’ll look to set up an initial session. I have experience of helping with a wide variety of problems and make every effort to help you to feel respected, listened to, and understood.

My approach is founded on the belief that each individual has the ability to effect positive growth and change, to enhance a sense of well-being and build resilience’s to cope with life’s challenges. Through a therapeutic relationship of trust, creativity and mutual respect I seek to support you in developing resources to improve your quality of life. My client outcomes are very positive and satisfaction levels are very high.

Sessions usually last for 55 minutes on a weekly or fortnightly basis though both time and frequency maybe negotiated. Reviews of the therapy are undertaken every few weeks to ensure you are comfortable and that we are making steps forward. The number of sessions you will have is flexible and open ended, we decide together when you feel you want the therapy to end.

I chose to become a counsellor because I know what it is to need help beyond the resources of friends and family. I believe whole-heartedly in the counselling process, and that any person has the ability and resources within them to create the life they want.
