About me

I am a professionally qualified and registered person-centred counsellor.  I offer approachable, professional support to help you through times that may be proving difficult. I run a private practice, Equanimity Counselling, where I work from a quiet, light and spacious room in south Buckinghamshire.

I understand that it can be difficult to find the right person to talk to. It can be hard to find the right words; the right time; to feel accepted. Through counselling I offer you space. A chance to be heard and understood. Time to breathe, explore, accept. I provide a place you can be yourself and evolve at your own pace.

What is person-centred counselling?

Person-centred counselling is talking therapy, but more than that it is a time when you are truly heard and supported, wherever you are in that moment.

My person-centred training enables me to work with you at your own pace and style, ensuring that the sessions are comfortable and right for you.

My experience and professional registration

I am a volunteer counsellor at One Recovery Bucks supporting people with alcohol or substance addiction.  I have previously worked with young people providing counselling provision within a local secondary school. 

I am a fully qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (www.bacp.co.uk). I abide by their ethical framework including an ongoing commitment to professional supervision. I also undertake regular professional development to broaden my own experience and to better understand my clients' needs. I hold full insurance for my practice and my counselling premises.

What can you do now?

It is important that you choose the right counsellor for you, and that we both feel comfortable to work with each other.  For this reason I encourage an initial phone conversation (or via text/email if you prefer) free of charge so that you can ask any questions and I can ensure that I am able to offer what you are looking for.

Please contact me for further details or to make an appointment, either by phone, text or email.
