About me

Hi there, I am a warm and compassionate counsellor and psychotherapist who provides a confidential and non-judgemental counselling service for Adult clients (18+.) I have 9 years of experience working with clients therapeutically. Within this time frame I have worked with a variety of client issues including anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, low self-esteem, bereavement/loss, coping with caring responsibilities and I have considerable experience of working with work related stress and Higher Education student issues.

Having had counselling myself I understand the difficulty in taking the first step to improved mental health. My sessions are informal and are 50 minutes long sessions begin with an initial getting to know each other session. This session allows an opportunity to discuss your concerns or anxieties 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 create a plan together for your therapeutic work.

I offer both short and long term sessions depending on the issues you present at your initial assessment. I offer a person centred therapeutic approach in a very calm and comfortable environment.

Please get in touch if you think I can support you in any way.
