About me
Do you feel a sense that something isn't right, but you're not sure why? Are you finding yourself confronting the same obstacles and difficulties again and again and don't know what to do? Whatever your situation, I am here to help you develop an understanding of what is happening and to find some hope and direction.
I provide psychotherapeutic counselling to adults on a one-to-one basis for a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, relationships, low mood, and bereavement. I specialise in working with gifted adults, autistic adults, and people who have experienced limited or no success from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). In addition to my private practice, I am a volunteer counsellor at St Barnabas Hospice, Lincolnshire.
I am able to offer both short-term and long-term therapy. Counselling sessions are held online (video call), over the telephone, or at my therapy room in North Hykeham (nr. Lincoln). I endeavour to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours (Mon-Fri) or 48 hours (weekends). If you find you haven't received a response, please check your spam/junk folders.
