Email meAbout me
I am a warm, approachable person-centred counsellor with seven years' counselling experience. I also have over fifteen years' experience of working in one-to-one and group-settings in the substance abuse field. Based in the Practice Rooms in Westbury-on-Trym, which is a bright and welcoming space, I aim to create a safe and trusted place where you can talk openly at your own pace.
What can I expect?
Initially, coming to counselling may feel like a challenging experience. However, I can assure you, it does get easier. The relationship we form is the most important and beneficial component. I will be there to listen and support you with whatever you want to bring. If it matters to you, it matters. All emotions and feelings are welcome, tears and laughter too. There are no expectations about how you should be in the counselling room; our only aim will be to work towards your personal goals and seek out positive change.
