About me

Like many of my colleagues, I became a counsellor following a successful previous career. I spent many years as an architect, before taking a stroke in 2008 and decided to retrain, bringing a rich and varied life experience to my counselling work, along with a long held interest in the psychology of ‘why we do what we do’ and a desire to really listen and help you on your journey; despite the difficulties you are facing.

I am a wheelchair user and see clients in a small, but cosy and private space. I like to work by blending various therapeutic approaches appropriate to your needs, but it is important to me that we build trust by working at a speed you feel comfortable with.

In addition to my private practice, I do regular voluntary counselling with an organisation supporting those bereaved by suicide; through which I have worked with a wide range of people from different cultures, beliefs, age and gender.

I adhere to the NCS (National Counselling Society) Code of Ethics, which underpins the respectful and confidential way we will work together and that is important for both of us.
