About me
What do you want your life to look like? Let’s start from where you are right now and find a way to move together in that direction step by step. Let’s work out together what’s happened to you and why you are feeling this way right now.
Experienced and qualified as a person-centred therapeutic counsellor, I work through building a close connection with you. I will welcome you into a calm, peaceful space where I hope you will soon feel comfortable and safe. I will listen carefully to what you tell me and try to see things from your point of view to understand how you feel. Our sessions will adapt and change around you - if you don’t like the quiet you could bring your choice of music to play in the background or if you want to move around, there’s space for that too. I also have creative materials which we can work with, if you find working with your hands a useful way to express your emotions.
You may have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression or ADHD, you may have low self-esteem or family issues or just a feeling that something’s not right. You may know exactly what you want to discuss or have no idea where to start. Counselling may seem daunting to you but a journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. Contact me. Leave me a message – email, text or voicemail and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. I offer a free 30 minute telephone chat to begin to get to know each other. If that’s something that appeals to you, you can tell me your needs and I can tell you more about how I work. I hope to hear from you soon.
Who am I?
Having worked for a long time in schools with staff and pupils as well as within a women's centre and a bereavement counselling service, I now work solely in private practice.
How do I work?
I provide face to face or telephone counselling. I invite you to a free 30 minute introductory telephone call so that we can begin to get to know each other and I welcome questions. When you are ready, we can begin with a set number of sessions or I can offer open ended counselling. You will know when you are ready to end counselling or take a break and we can regularly check in to see how the counselling is going.
Where am I?
My therapy suite is in Diseworth, close to Castle Donington, Loughborough and East Midlands airport on the border of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire. It’s easy to reach as it’s close to the M1 by junctions 24 and 23a as well as the A42 although you can avoid motorways if you prefer.
There is plenty of private, off-street parking and I am also on the Skylink bus route.

Further information
How do we get started?
The relationship we create is the at the centre of person-centred counselling so I invite you to a 30-minute telephone consultation to begin to get to know each other. This will give you the opportunity to explain more about your needs and to ask questions.
All you need to do at this stage is email, text or call. Leave me a message and I’ll get back to you as quickly as I can.
