About me

Taking the first step can be a scary prospect, I know I've been there! The number of therapists available can be overwhelming. Who will be able to help you best? What do the qualifications mean?  Although there are so many approaches, most counsellors will usually agree that the relationship is the most important part of the counselling journey.

Connection and intuition play a vital role in finding the right therapist for you and it is essential that you find the right therapist. If you have got as far as reading my profile then the process of developing a therapeutic relationship may have already begun.  I am a warm, honest and genuine, professionally qualified experienced counsellor and  'just another' person with the trained skills, professional and life experiences to offer you the conditions to begin to reflect on you, your inner world, thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Is something troubling you?  Do you feel a constant lack of contentment?  Does anxiety and fear hold you back? Do you continue to say "this can't go on"? I can offer the help you need to explore these feelings and start to feel better about yourself and your life. I also run a two hour group which includes meditation and talking therapy for those that would prefer a softer more relaxed approach.

I am an accredited Parenting Practitioner and use the Triple P model if you are struggling to manage behaviour of your children from 1 - 16 years.

My clients have said : "I feel so much more aware of why I behave in certain ways";  "I can't quite say how I've changed,  but things are a million times better in my relationship";  "without the opportunity to talk this through I don't think I could have gone on"; "I feel amazing, like I have had an emotional workout"; "I feel supported from the inside knowing I'm coming here"; " Therapy is healthy".

I have over 15 years of qualified experience of working with individuals and young people. I love what I do.  I work in a person centre way, meaning I can work with almost any topic you decide to work on, even if you are not sure what that is, sometimes new feelings arise and the work can change direction, this is one advantage of the person centered approach.

I am also a qualified Parenting Practitioner and have helped many families overcome challenging times, particularly during adolescence.  I am a Schools Counsellor, a Therapeutic Foster Carer, Child and Young Persons Advocate and a Reiki Master.
