About me
NCPS accredited integrative counsellor, offering counselling for both individuals and couples in a safe, calm, confidential space, I combine theoretical training with warmth, kindness and insight. At times we can be unsure of our direction in life, and need a little help to find a way forward. I am also a registered member of the BACP.
My specialisms are communication and relationships, including couples counselling, finding meaning in life, and adjustment to change. I also have extensive experience working with bereavement, grief and loss, and trauma. I currently offer counselling sessions face to face, online or by telephone.
