Email meAbout me
Hello & Welcome
I know life can be overwhelming at times and you may have been struggling for a longtime. Coming to see a counsellor for the first time can be a bit daunting but I can offer you a warm welcoming counselling space. We can work either face to face at my counselling room or if it suits you better I can offer telephone or Skype sessions.
How I can help you
My aim is to offer you a supportive, understanding and trustworthy place, where you feel comfortable and confident to be able to voice your thoughts, feelings and situation without the fear of being judged.
Together we can make sense of those worries and problems which maybe causing you difficulties and if appropriate for you, we can explore, create and discover choices and strategies to help you feel like your life is back on tracks.
At its best, therapy offers a resource for healing, growth and life long change.
Specialisms
I have a particular experience and knowledge of helping people with:
- Relationship difficulties.
- Low self esteem & confidence.
- Anxiety & depression.
- Work based stress.
- Supporting Expats through the stresses of change and transition.
I have had over ten years experience in helping people deal with problems affecting their emotional & mental well being both as a counsellor, supervisor, holistic therapist & mindfulness teacher.
