Email meAbout me
I am a Human Givens therapist offering practical help with mental and emotional distress in the here and now. I work with young adults and individuals offering short, medium, and long term counselling and life coaching. I can help with depression and anxiety, panic attacks and phobias, Post Traumatic Stress as well as resolve trauma, and offer support for domestic abuse. I can also help to manage anger and stop addictive behaviour.
I work from home but am happy to see clients in their own home too. My working hours are flexible to suit the client.

My background as a Nurse Midwife and Health visitor for 25 years led to a Diploma in Human Givens Therapy which I have now practised for 10 years. Human Givens is accredited with the Professional Standards Authority and Human Givens Institute.

Further information
The main focus of Human Givens therapy is recognising that every person has a defined set of needs and helping people get these needs met. Similarly, every person has an innate set of resources and we help clients make full and effective use of these resources to improve their emotional well being. Using a solution focused approach and by setting small achievable goals it is possible to make changes in their lives and for them to feel significantly better in a short period of time.
