Contact me today and find out how you could feel so much better.

Counselling for Individuals or Couples.

Feel so much better by sharing the problem and making some changes in your life.

Just like you I once had to go to see a counsellor for a stress-related issue. It was difficult to make that decision but once I did I only needed to see her for a few sessions and I felt so much better. Just talking to a caring professional person helped me to realise that I had a choice to feel miserable or to change something.

In my offices I see clients from Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, West Moors, Ferndown, Wimborne, Parley,  and surrounding areas in Dorset. I also provide an online service via webcam (Vsee) and telephone counselling service for some clients who are based anywhere else in the UK.

So if you would like help to find solutions to a problem or you would just like to find ways to feel better and get on with your life contact me.

I help adults with stress and anxiety, excess worrying, relationship problems, people lacking in confidence, family issues, work-related problems, fears, phobias, bereavement and other losses, performance issues such as public speaking, exam stress, driving nerves, and much more.

I also help a lot of people with problems related to work such as worries about changing career, bullying at work, and coping with increased demands.

As life has lots of pressures I assist you to learn easy coping strategies so you can deal better with things in the future.
