About me

My aim is to provide a safe, non-judgement space to support my  Clients.   I’m a qualified Counsellor/Psychotherapist and I aim is to provide a safe, compassionate and reflective space to explore issues.    If you've reached a turning point or find yourself "stuck"; wondering how did I end up here;  I'd like to provide an environment where we can explore those issues together, and help you work towards greater awareness.    If you're feeling at a loss or no-one to share your anxieties with; I'd like to come alongside to offer support and  a reflective space.

If you are experiencing difficulties whether anxiety, bereavement, depression, trauma or other emotionally distressing issues; I would like to provide a compassionate space to reflect and talk through those difficulties.

I am based at The Sage Therapy Centre, Wollaton, Nottingham.

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.
