About me

I provide Counselling and Psychotherapy services on the Wirral in Merseyside. 

As an ‘Integrative’ psychotherapist I believe that one type of therapy doesn’t suit all, therefore bringing in techniques from other modalities of therapy such as person-centred, CBT, and a psychodynamic approach which provides clients with a greater therapeutic experience. I sometimes use hypnotherapy with certain presenting issues to complement the counselling process. I am able to work with clients on a range of issues including: anxiety, depression, stress, emotional abuse, fears and phobias, low self-esteem, relationship issues, health issues, work issues, general counselling.

Training, qualifications & experience

My career has largely been in education, spending 35 years in the teaching profession, with a large part of that time in senior pastoral leadership roles including that of Head Teacher. When I decided to retire from teaching, I knew that I wanted to build on all that experience and continue to make a difference.

As part of that career change, I took up studying again and trained and qualified in  Psychotherapeutic Counselling.
