About me
Hi there, I am a warm and compassionate counsellor and psychotherapist who provides a confidential and non-judgemental therapeutic service for Adult clients (18+.) I have 9 years of experience working with clients therapeutically and in this time I have worked with a variety of client issues including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family issues, low self-esteem, bereavement/loss, coping with caring responsibilities and loneliness, to name a few. My training and work experience covers many other areas so just ask if your not sure.
Having had counselling myself I understand how difficult taking the first step to improved mental health can be. Sessions are very informal, are 50 minutes long and begin with an initial assessment. This session allows you an opportunity to discuss your concerns or anxieties about the counselling process in an open and supportive environment. This session will also allow you to tell me of the difficulties you are experiencing presently and provides a space where we can together create a plan to overcome your difficulties.
I offer both short and long term work, depending on the issues presented at your initial assessment, in a very comfortable environment. Please get in touch if you think I can support you in any way.

Training
