About me
**VIDEO AND TELEPHONE SESSIONS ONLY AVAILABLE**
Right now life is supposedly going back to 'normal', however life still feels unmanageable and those never ending obstacles has now become more intense.
You may be feeling overwhelmed with all the pressures at work, whilst trying to juggle the constant demands of being a parent and looking after the family. Let's not forget about the strain this may be putting on your relationship with your other half, and no one truly understands that things are day by day spiralling out of control for you.
You want to get back to that place where work-life balance is not just a fantasy. Being a parent feels enjoyable again and those initial butterflies at the start of your relationship with your partner begins to re-emerge. Also, having a safe space where you can freely offload your stresses about everything that is happening around you without the fear of being judged by others.
If you are ready to break these cycles, let's work together to find healthy ways to manage your difficulties, make positive changes in your life and heal those old wounds. I offer a relational and a down to earth approach to counselling that will help you make these changes a reality.
How do we get started?
We will have a free 15 minute consultation appointment to get an understanding of what has brought you to therapy, and if we would be a good fit to work with one another.
Following this, we can discuss further regular counselling sessions (if needed), which typically takes place at the same time each week for 50 minutes.

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice.

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration.
