About me

I have over 30 years experience offering counselling and psychotherapy in the voluntary sector, social services and NHS. I qualified with The Guild of Psychotherapists in 2008. I work with people with a wide range of difficulties, including depression and anxiety.  I also offer Couples counselling for couples experiencing difficulties in their relationship. I offer weekly sessions to look in depth at the issues you are facing in your life at present. Through ongoing discussions together it becomes possible to find more clarity as to what may be causing unhappiness and to become more aware of how you might make changes in your perspective or in a life situation to find a better way forward.
