About me
I offer a warm, empathic, counselling service face to face in my small garden room, online or by phone and also offer Walk and Talk therapy locally.
I am experienced in working with clients in lots of areas but particularly, anxiety and stress, bereavement, and autism, I aim to help you work through the things that are important, so that together we may find the best way forward. I am there for you, to listen, in a non-judgmental, way, giving you the time and space you may need.
I understand that it can be difficult to make the first move into counselling and will do my best to put you at ease so you may feel comfortable talking at a time when things may seem difficult. It can take great courage to seek help and to take that first step, I understand how this may feel for you. Please feel free to contact me for a free short initial call. I look forward to hearing from you.

Further information
It is important to me to offer a space that you may feel safe enough to explore your feelings and trust that I will not judge you, and am able to sit with you alongside your feelings whilst we talk through them together.
Some clients prefer to be outdoors and would like to have walk and talk sessions in a natural environment. People may feel they have more room to talk outside and feel less constrained than in an therapy room. I am able to offer these locally and in most weather conditions, please contact me for further details.
