About me

I am a fully qualified counsellor and registered member of The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. I use an integrative approach, combining person centred and psychodynamic models. Which means I will work with you to understand your past experiences and their influences on your present and help you to build skills for a brighter future.

I can help with a variety of issues, though my role is not to give you advice, we can work together to find your own answers. I can help anyone who feels they need counselling in a safe and confidential space. I am experienced in helping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression; as well as how to cope with loss, abuse, trauma and childhood issues. I can provide one on one counselling for adults, young people and children. 

I have experience working with neurodiverse people, from ADHD to dyslexia or autism spectrum disorder to dyscalculia in adults, young people and children. 

In our first session we will talk about how we will work together. We may set goals which we can will review. Once we have had our first session, you can decide if you want to continue. Our sessions will be open ended and at the same time, weekly for 50 minutes.
