About me

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

I am a qualified and registered psychotherapist/counsellor and have previously worked for 35 years in the NHS as a nurse. Throughout my career I have been passionate about children and adult’s emotional health and well-being.

I understand it can be difficult to to talk about very personal feelings and events and counselling provides a safe space where you can just be you, without fear of judgement and hopefully, you will feel comfortable and supported by me, in whatever you wish to explore about you and your life.

I use an integrative model which draws on a variety of theoretical approaches. By blending a mixture of psychodynamic, person-centred, creative and relational methods, together we can discover what resonates with you to help you to achieve your goals. What is important is that the therapeutic relationship we develop is one which you find the space to explore the things that might feel too uncomfortable at the moment.

I work from an accessible and comfortable office which provides a relaxing environment; offering a place and time that is private and dedicated to you. We start by making an agreement about how we are going to work together and then we check how we are doing after an agreed number of sessions, so that we stay focused.

I can use a variety of creative methods, if this is something you are comfortable with, and I offer you a different kind of listening – one in which you truly feel heard. Please contact me if you want any further information about me or how I work, or if you want to arrange a session to find out if I am the right therapist for you

I offer individual counselling to children, young people and adults.
