About me

Feeling down, depressed and/or stressed? This might be due to a specific event/situation or it might be something you have struggled with for a while. Have you been diagnosed with depression by your GP and want to work on addressing the underlying causes?

I am a BACP and UK-IPT registered and accredited counsellor. I provide a supportive, non-judgemental and confidential environment in which you can talk about anything. I am trained in a variety of different approaches and as I get to understand your situation I tailor the approach to you. Sometimes a more focused, structured approach, such as CBT or IPT might be appropriate whereas other times something more exploratory may be called for. Sometimes people just need support to get through a really tough time in life.

I work face-to-face with clients at my home-based practice in South Farnham, online via Zoom or a combination of the two. You choose.

It's important that your counsellor has the appropriate expertise to help you and that you feel comfortable with them. In the initial session when I know a little more about your situation I assess whether I have the appropriate expertise to help you. If I don't I give you pointers to help you get appropriate help. The initial session also gives you the chance to decide whether you feel comfortable and want to continue working with me. If not ... that's fine... it's what the first session is for.
