About me

People come to therapy for many different reasons. Perhaps you are navigating a life challenge, processing difficult feelings, or simply seeking time to reflect. Whatever brings you to therapy, I aim to provide a steady, trusted relationship to help you to share your experiences, thoughts and feelings openly.

I work integratively, drawing on different therapeutic approaches depending on the individual, and relationally because research shows it is the strength of the client-therapist relationship that brings change. I will listen, seek to understand, and stay alongside you with compassion as we explore whatever feels difficult.

Clients might come to me for support with work-related stress and anxiety, grief and bereavement, pain or health issues, relationship or family challenges or for help during a period of change and uncertainty. Other clients arrive at my door because they are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, low, stressed, anxious, guilty, confused, fearful, sad, angry or disconnected.  You don’t need to know exactly what you want from therapy. We can start wherever you are and work together to make sense of what you are experiencing.

If you are considering therapy but are not sure whether it is right for you, you are welcome to book a 15-minute introductory call. This is an opportunity to tell me a little about what is going on for you, what you might want from therapy, and to ask any questions about how we might work together. You can contact me by phone or email to arrange a call.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
